RULES OF LIFE by Richard Templar, i'm usually not a big fan of motivational books but this one is so laid back n easy 2 practice with d right amount of humour.

I have spent time watching people whom i like to call successful (not because of how rich or popular they are, but because of the peace and contentment i see in them), and realised that one of the things they have that i relly love and want is DIGNITY!
Now, these people have the utmost confidence i have ever seen, they have worked out who they are and what they really want and are happy with their result.
They dont need to show off or brag about who they are or what they have. They dont have this need to draw attention to themselves because truth be told, they dont care about what people think of them. They are too busy getting on with their lives. They always maintain what is called DECORUM!
I will love to have that poise, that gravitas that will set me apart from others, to have good manners, be always polite and considerate and be someone others can look up to.
I am not talking about becoming a snob, or beign too serious and boring! no! i dont want that.
I just need to have that quiet self-esteem, that dignity!
