27. Best lessons I have learned from Books



Just to clarify, this isn’t a list of my favourite all time books (I’ll have to write up one of those at some stage…) but rather a list of books that I have read in the past few years and the lessons they taught me. Books have this fantastic way of informing us about people, places, things or simply just ourselves. They make us more sympathetic and open minded towards the world. So here is my list of fantastic books/pieces of literature and what I learned from them. Hope you enjoy…


Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone by J.K Rowling: Love is stronger than hate


Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by J.K Rowling: When you find people in your life who are kind to you, keep them around and be kind back


Persuasion by Jane Austen: You are not defined by how rich or successful you are, but in your character and how you treat others  


Amazinger Face by Zoe Foster Blake: Look after yourself


The Wonder of Us by Kim Culbertson: Don’t keep score in any type of relationship, it isn’t a game of who is better. Also a friendship doesn’t have to be 24/7 to be strong


The Girl in the Steel Capped Boots by Loretta Hill: Work hard and persevere, it will always make you stronger and better


Air Kisses by Zoe Foster Blake: When a relationship ends, sometimes work lifts you back up


Yes Please by Amy Poehler: Be whoever you are. And don’t worry too much, everyone is just as scared as you most of the time


Bridge Burning by Kitty Flanagan: Relax with the insecurities, you are hot


To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee: Always fight for the things you believe in, even if you don’t know that it will work


The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald: Be content in yourself and what you are doing


The Younger Man by Zoe Foster Blake: Be open minded, it's important


Playing the Field by Zoe Foster Blake: If you lose yourself, remember what your passions are and stay true to them  


The Game Changers by Samantha Brett: Projects take a lot of time and a lot of effort, be patient with the process and fight the little joys in it


Pride and Prejudice By Jane Austen: Don’t immediately judge someone without trying to fully understand them firstIs


Everyone Hanging out Without Me? By Mindy Kaling: For the most part your teen years aren’t going to be like they play out on American TV shows. There is nothing wrong with that


The Wrong Girl by Zoe Foster Blake: Embrace change, you’ll feel better for it


The Girl in the Hard Hat by Loretta Hill: Focus on what you need to do and what’s good for you  


Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince by J.K Rowling: Sometimes you have to choose what is right over what it easy


Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J.K Rowling: It’ll be okay



Hope you liked my list. What have you learned from your favourite books?
