40 Books to enjoy your Engineering

-
The forty books by the end-of-engineering will help you start your career with a boost.

On reflecting back over the previous day when we all intern were on the mission for categorization of books for the engineering students. I was really enjoying this responsibility. We were first reading the preface of the book and then categorizing them accordingly. When I was reading the preface I was amazed at the values and lessons which were reflected by these books. And with the help of Sir Prateek Narang CEO ColoredCow, we were able to categorize these books according to the engineering years.

And that day was so Motivating to start something new in life So I decided to have Book Reading
as a part of my life. I think reading is one of the healthiest habits which I can have in my life. I want to share the values and lessons which I will take and give back to society. So, why not after reading this blog you must also start with on this new journey with me and Let's create a new story from here.

So, I have been reading the Eat That Frog!: 21 Great Ways to Stop Procrastinating and Get More Done in Less Time Book by Brian Tracy. This book talk about There just isn't enough time for everything on our to-do-list-and there never will be. Successful people don't try to do everything. They learn to focus on the most important tasks and make sure those get done. They eat their frogs.
