“𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐃𝐎 𝐍𝐎𝐓 𝐅𝐈𝐍𝐃 𝐀 𝐇𝐀𝐏𝐏𝐘 𝐋𝐈𝐅𝐄. 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐌𝐀𝐊𝐄 𝐈𝐓.”

By Camille Eyring Kimball. A prominent author and educator, and wife of the 12th President of The Church of Latter-Day Saints, Spencer W. Kimball. Honestly, this can be kind of confusing especially if you take it the wrong way.

Kimball suggests that we shouldn’t see a happy life like a treasure. Lying around, just waiting to be found. Instead, a happy life is about the choices we make, nurturing relationships, how we take care of ourselves. In other words, it’s about how we choose to live our lives and not mere ‘finding’ it.

People treat happiness like it’s the destination, that it depends entirely on reaching their goals and such. But many fail to realize that a ‘happy life’ is built overtime and not just felt.

Happy Mondays, BUeños! And see you here at the East Campus Library ❤

5 FREE MOBILE APPS FOR READING

There are many free and public domain books online, some have been shared on this page. Usually, eBooks are in the .epub, .mobi, or PDF formats. With these apps you can now read these online books from the comfort and convenience of your phone.

These apps can be found in the Play Store or App Store (except for Koodo which can be downloaded from the website). Kindly note that these may have paid versions for premium features but otherwise they are pretty usable. I personally use ReadEra when on Android.

See comments for links. Do you have a preferred app not included on this list? You can comment!

“𝐖𝐇𝐄𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐊 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐂𝐀𝐍 𝐎𝐑 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐂𝐀𝐍’𝐓 – 𝐘𝐎𝐔’𝐑𝐄 𝐑𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓.”

Truly, a wonderful and motivational quote by Henry Ford. An American industrialist and founder of the Ford Motor Company. This quote implies that your actions and its results can be shaped by how you see or how much you believe in your abilities.

𝘐𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘤𝘢𝘯, you’re more likely to exert more effort, persevere despite of setbacks, and push through hardships.
𝘐𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘤𝘢𝘯’𝘵, you’re most likely to give up easily or not even attempt at all.

In life, you have to try things out. See for yourself whether it’ll work out or not. It’s not saying that your mindset will make things possible right out of the bat. Rather, how you think can affect your actions, effort, and performance.

𝐘𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐃𝐀𝐘…

Ms. Kristin Mae L. Pacatang of Bachelor of Science in Architecture visited the East Campus Library yesterday to share a book with us entitled, “𝘗𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘋𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘨𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘏𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘣𝘰𝘰𝘬, 2𝘯𝘥 𝘌𝘥𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯” by Mac B. Fajardo Jr. We’d like to thank you for your donation as this will expand our collection

“𝐂𝐀𝐍𝐂𝐄𝐑𝐒 𝐎𝐅 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐃: 𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐆, 𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐏𝐋𝐀𝐈𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆, 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐂𝐑𝐈𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐈𝐙𝐈𝐍𝐆.”

From Jay Shetty’s, 𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬 𝘓𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘈 𝘔𝘰𝘯𝘬. At first glance, you’d think that this quote is ignoring the idea to not compare, complain, nor criticize since it's being compared to cancer. But, if we take a little closer and try to understand the quote on deeper level, it doesn’t tell you that you should never compare, complain, or criticize because these are normal reactions. It’s what makes us human after all.

These things can still be used in moderation, to challenge oneself to be better. Comparing? That can inspire growth. Complaining? That is a call to let others know of what the real problem is. And criticizing? That can help improve ideas and behavior.

In real life, these habits are unavoidable. But what makes it dangerous like cancer is when we let it become our default way of thinking, when we let it shape how we think. It will slowly eat away our happiness and contentment. Like how cancer slowly deteriorates the human body.
