conversations.value: Give me a description for a book titled Pearls of Wisdom about Erzurum, Turkey, Known with the genre: Religion & Spirituality, Islam.
conversations.from: assistant
conversations.value: Known by his simple and austere lifestyle, Fethullah the author, affectionately called Hodjaefendi, is a scholar of extraordinary proportions. This man for all seasons was born in Erzurum, eastern Turkey, in 1941. Upon graduation from a private divinity school in Erzurum, he obtained his license and began to preach and teach about the importance of understanding and tolerance. His social reform efforts have made him one of Turkey's most well-known and respected public figures during the 1960s. Though simple in outward appearance, he is original in thought and action. He embraces all humanity, and is deeply averse to unbelief, injustice, and deviation. His belief and feelings are profound, and his ideas and approach to problems are both wise and rational. A living model of love, ardor, and feeling, he is extraordinarily balanced in his thoughts, acts, and treatment of matters. Turkish intellectuals and scholars acknowledge, either tacitly or explicitly, that he is one of the most serious and important thinkers and writers, and among the wisest activists of twentieth-century Turkey or even of the Muslim world. But such accolades of his leadership of a new Islamic intellectual, social, and spiritual revivala revival with the potential to embrace great areas of the worlddo not deter him from striving to be no more than a humble servant of God and a friend to all. Desire for fame is the same as show and ostentation, a "poisonous honey" that extinguishes the heart's spiritual liveliness, is one of the golden rules he follows. the author has spent his adult life voicing the cries and laments, as well as the beliefs and aspirations, of Muslims in particular and of humanity in general. He bears his own sorrows, but those of others crush him. He feels each blow delivered at humanity to be delivered first at his own heart. He feels himself so deeply and inwardly connected to creation that once he said: "Whenever I see a leaf fall from its branch in autumn, I feel as much pain as if my arm had been amputated."

  Stop for a moment and ask yourself, "What are the five action steps that I need to take every day—no matter what—to achieve my number one goal?" If your top goal is to lose fifty pounds, it might be: 1) do some form of aerobic exercise for forty-five minutes; 2) drink ten glasses of water a day; 3) lift weights for fifteen minutes; 4) meditate for fifteen minutes; and 5) read something or listen to a CD about motivation or weight loss for fifteen minutes. Other options are do not eat dessert, do not eat sugar, cut out all fast-burning carbohydrates, take a walk after dinner, and get eight hours of sleep. In this case, you would do the same five things, or a combination from a list of ten things, every single day.
  The Rule of Five can also be applied to your professional goals. One example is the Keller-Williams's 5-10-15-5 formula. They swear that anyone who uses this formula will have success in real estate sales. Have five in-person meetings with potential property listers or potential buyers. Have ten telephone conversations. Send out fifteen thank-you cards to the people you met with. Then go view five properties that are for sale so that you are very familiar with the inventory available.
  To keep moving forward toward your dreams and goals, pay attention to the feedback you receive and adjust accordingly. Positive feedback consists of good health, many good friends, lots of sales, plenty of money, fun, joy, and happiness. Negative feedback consists of ill health, physical pain, few friends, few sales, no job, debt, constant anger, and depression. All these negatives tell you that you are not thinking the right thoughts, visualizing the right images, or taking the right actions. Pay attention. Don't go into denial. Face up to what isn't working.
  On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate the quality of (our product, my service, the installation, me as a parent, me as a spouse, me as an employee, etc.) this past week/month?

conversations.value: This makes sense; we cannot tell what dangers lurk in the unknown. As a general rule, things that feel comfortable to us tend to be safer than those that feel uncomfortable.
  Our subconscious "talks" to us through emotions. When it wants us to change our direction, it makes us feel depressed, cranky, uncomfortable, or stressed. We don't like these feelings, so we change things. When it wants us to head in a particular direction, it makes us feel safe and at ease in it. We like feeling this way, so we do things that move us in that direction. We can set the direction that our subconscious takes us in using visualization.

conversations.value: Helping others gets us out of our own self, and that's another benefit. When we help others, it brings balance to our perspective. Without this vocation, otherwise well-intentioned self-help practices can quickly turn into self-obsession practices. If we are stuck in the quagmire of our own self-inventory, our thoughts become consumed with "me, me, me," and we fail to remember that we are not alone on this planet, and that there are other human beings in far worse life situations than our own.
  Also, it's often when we are feeling stuck in life, when we think things aren't going our way, that we can feel better simply by turning our attention to the needs of others. Try it; I think the results may surprise you.
  The ways in which we can help are innumerable, and in my experience, we won't have far to look. Whether it's at work, in our neighborhood, or in our own family, I assure you that many opportunities to help others will arise when you begin to look for them.
  One caveat to remember: occasionally I will hear someone say, "I would help, but the problem is just too big; I couldn't possibly make a difference." If you hear yourself make that statement, please recognize it as another example of the ego's attempt to keep you trapped in the dungeon of despair, feeling powerless and stuck where you are.
