Last week, I completed this wonderful book named ‘Who will cry when you die’ by Robin Sharma. The book is famous among frequent readers and has inspired millions of people in the world. Now that I have read it, I regret for not picking it up in early stages of my life. It reminded me of my colleague and friend from VIT, Pune, Ms. Pallavi Sandav who used to read lot of books at that time. She used to be so positive, energetic and fulfilled in every moment of her life. The book has all the life-changing thoughts and daily dose everyone needs for quality life.
Many websites/ blogs have collection of mostly all quotes from the book. However, in this post, I’m listing out my favourite lines from the book. They are simple yet hard-hitting and worth sharing;
