The Noticer

Bigblackwolf thinks that the noticer is a great book and everybody should have at least attempted this book in some point in their life. bigblackwolf specially loves the part where Jones, (not Mr Jones) reinforces that we are always coming out of a crisis, in a crisis or heading for a crisis. This book is definitely relevant to people from all walks of life and provides a unique and well written view about many questions that have been haunting us for decades by giving us a new perspective. bigblackwolf thinks that the best inspiration that she got from the book was the part where Jones (which is a fictional character, in case you are wondering) gives insights and examples on how by doing little things, we are making a difference in the world, most of the time not to our knowledge. 4/5

1. All in all, I still maintain that I am the best friend either of you have. There may be people you've known longer than me...there may even be lots of people you like better than me...But today, you don't have a better friend.
2. Most folks figure a true friend is someone who accepts them for who they are. But that's a dangerous garbage to believe. The kid who works the drive-through at your local fast food restaurant accepts you for who you are because he doesn't care anything about you. But a true friend holds you to a higher standard. A true friend brings out the best in you.
3. All people, all lives, are either in a crisis, coming out of a crisis or headed for a crisis.
4. There are four different types of people in the world who speak in four different types of love languages.  The first kind is the dog, who feels loved through spoken words of approval, and detests harsh objections and are extremely sensitive to even a slight raised tone of voice. The second type of people is the goldfish. The goldfish feels loved through favors done by the people she loves, such as by cooking for her, mending the fence, mowing the lawn and so on. The third type of  people is the cat, and the cat feels loved by physical contact, such as hugging, kissing, ticking or even, to higher levels of intimate contact. And the fourth type of people is the canary. A canary doesn't need to be hugged, doesn't understand what we say, but wants to spend quality time with a person that it likes. A canary feels loved when a person sits beside its cage, and listens to its singing all day long.
4. Worry, fear is just a misuse of the creative imagination that has been placed in each of us. Because we are smart and creative, we imagine all the things that could happen, that might happen, that will happen if this or that happens. Undeniably, some 8% of worries are legitimate worries, but wouldn't it better if we just focus of the crisis that we have to face instead of the 92% of worries that have a slight chance of happening?
5. One way to define wisdom is the ability to see, into the future, the consequences of your choices in the present. (Best quote.)
6.Many of life's treasures remain hidden from us simply because we never search for them. Often we do not ask the popular questions that might lead us to the answer to all our challenges. We are so caught up in fear and regret, that hope seems a foolish endeavor. Proof of hope, however, is not only possible, it is an overlooked law of the universe.  
7. What is the thing that the others would change about you if they could?
