Every organisation every institution every company every entrepreneur EVERY ONE have a story have a vision, have some goals, have dreams and try to give life to those dreams, goals ....etc.
Every story has pleasures, failures, victory, fear you name it.. every one must have felt it. We often will be very much moved by all these emotions shown in biographies and auto biographies. No-ones experiences or situations they face in life matches with others but the feelings and emotions may, though the level of emotion may differ(may be it depends on the persons perspective towards it).
I heard a old women giving her biography to editing guys to edit her life story. She is normal person like millions of us but her sole purpose of writing her biography is she wants her grand children and grand grand children to know about her life and their family history and their roots. So, its not that biographies are meant for the so called successful people. Of-course when we talk about Success the perspective changes from person to person here I am taking the general meaning.
Most lovable one is sharing our experiences dreams incidents to others ofcourse some times listener will be the victim. So these autobiographies may also give the pleasure to the teller/writer.
Now the actual question arises whats the purpose of reading these biographies or autobiographies. Are they really worthwhile reading? As the purpose of writing them differs the purpose of reading also may differ.
Some may think reading others self stories doesn't change their life much. some believe it makes a lot of difference in their thinking process and so the lifestyle. What ever , it is the fact of accepting the lessons learnt from those books or their personal life.
I personally feel these books broadens your vision , and definitely they make a difference. The difference may not be seen by others or by themselves but sometimes it helps a lot in taking decisions in critical times. Though we don't accept the theory we learnt or understood it has the impact on our subconscious mind which helps to take spontaneous decisions.
I Agree there might be biographies which shouldn't be written. But after all its we who take the decision of what book to pick up. So, i say one should be very selective in choosing a book especially biographies(not for those who live/earn on giving reviews or critics on books). Yes I am very selective.I strongly believe some times books give solutions to our problems may be it is because we interpret differently each time we read it. or it depends on the purpose we read it.
