Sailing by the Flowing River (to feel more than to think) :A reflection to 'Like the Flowing River' by Paulo Coehlo & 'Blink' by Malcolm Gladwell


Prologue

It was Friday afternoon when we received the books from the office for us to read and make a reaction paper out of it. At first, I just felt that difficulty in reading when I try to scan the books because I was badly exhausted that time. I haven't take a sleep yet last night. I was making our paper in Social Science 26 from 9 pm till 10 in the morning the other day. I don't have rest, even a single nap. The worst is, I have many final examinations that day: Social Science 2 at 10:30am-12:30pm and Trigonometry at 2:30pm-4:30pm, and a final presentation in Social Science 26 at 1 pm.

It was a hell day, indeed. I asked myself: “How can I make a paper in my situation now? I haven't buy an eyeglass yet.”

'Like the Flowing River' by Paulo Coehlo seems interesting to me, especially when I saw at the lower part of the cover page “Thoughts and Reflections”. I really love to read inspiring novels and stories. Though I am not so familiar with the author, the title of its work itself successfully caught my interest and attention.

Also, “Blink” by Malcolm Gladwell started the existence of curiosity in my mind because of it's tag line that goes “The Power of Thinking Without Thinking”. Very weird indeed that is why I am very eager to read it and understand at the same time what the author wants us to know.
I looked like drunk when I left the office-very cute sleepless eyes and I was dizzy also that time. Buhay Estudyante as what people were saying.

I was vey excited to read the books given. So, that night, I started reading the book of Coehlo. I am really impressed of the stories presented in the book. Inspiring. And I wrote my reflections using the tip of my pen. And, the story continues...
