The best book to read is the Bible.
Life is quite difficult; unless you're born with a silver spoon in your mouth, you may have to fight or be coerced into succeeding. The question is, before you can acquire the job you want or be accepted into any university you want to attend for the duration of your career, do you have to compromise your morals or integrity to comply with illegal activity or your boss's unethical behavior?
People who are so cruel to others don't want anyone to do the same to them, yet when they face challenges in life, even ones they can manage, they frequently ask, "God, why me?" They readily forget that they allow innocent individuals to suffer simply because they are truthful or because they are unlikely to join their network of dishonest adversaries.
The truth is not a product that can be purchased at the grocery store, but only a select few can afford it, as I used to say. If you tell your boss the truth, you risk losing your job, and more significantly, you risk losing all of your friends. Many people are afraid of this, which is why the truth has been buried and the world has gone mad. Since it breeds loneliness, hatred, and sorrow, there is no truth anywhere.
People do get older over time, but things are changing quickly these days. Every day, people are dying like flies for no apparent cause, and the most shocking aspect of this is that wealthy and well-known people are choosing to end their own lives. Believe me, no matter how wealthy you are, the only pillar of your salvation is the love of Jesus. You are like salt without taste if you lack it.
Money can make you powerful physically, but it won't make you strong spiritually. When the world or your enemies turn against you, you'll be vulnerable to death or your enemies shooting you around like a football because your spiritual life is weak. Being faithful to your wife, husband, and kids is another essential life skill for married men and women. They are always happy and strong people.
No matter what you are going through, you won't let anything bother you if you have a good wife, husband, and kids you love the most, since they will always be there to support you. When someone can no longer manage issues, they give up so easily. People who are homeless, addicted to drugs, or dealing with social issues all have stories to tell. They are pushed there by uncontrollable events.
Kindness is an element of what makes a person human; it can’t be purchased. Without it, you'll always tend to treat people cruelly, even if they haven't done you any harm. The only things that truly bring happiness and fulfillment in life are not money or a job; they are compassion, empathy, conscience, and kindness. If you are a living person lacking these qualities, attempt to develop them.
For those who want comfort and fulfillment in life but are unable to find it, two things, both books, have contributed to my happiness and strength in life. The Bible and Norman Vincent Peale's book "The Power of Positive Thinking" are two excellent resources for anyone who is struggling in life or wants to get past challenges.
