Shape a happy and successful life!
In school, you learn the core subjects, you learn to write better, and you learn how study in a way that will reward you with good marks. This is knowledge that helps you further your formal education and get you a job that pays well. However, where does one go to learn invaluable life lessons and skills? The answer to that is, “Everywhere and nowhere.” A favourite teacher may have life wisdom to impart to you, and you may gain meaning from learning how long it takes a river to wear down a stone until it is glossy and smooth.

Valuable life lessons and skills equip you with the means to endure during hardship, to shape an emotionally-fulfilling life, and to succeed in your goals. With 50 short lessons and a collection of inspirational quotes from notable figures, this book will not only teach you the ones most useful and prevalent, but will also give you the foothold you need to seek more of these golden lessons in your own life.

Motivational books come in various formats. Some can be didactic and tell you how to feel and what to do. Others can be superficial and barely delve below the surface of what is common knowledge.
50 Life's Golden Lessons sometimes slides into this latter category, but that does not detract from the messages that it shares. These are timeless messages that are essential to life, and Gholamreza Nazari does a good job keeping the advice fresh, opting for a kind, fatherly style. The lessons are nothing new - and he knows this. Yet he does not phrase them in a way that indicates that he expects them to be; rather, the advice comes across more as a reminder of what you may already know, or as a pick-me-up when you are feeling down.
However, a few sections can appear on the surface to be a little repetitious (the sections on attitude, for example). At first I thought that they were, but upon returning to the first one and reading that over I discovered that they built upon one another.
Also, there were a number of misspellings or phrases that came across as awkward. Aside from being a little distracting, these did not get in the way of the messages for the most part - although there was one instance at least where one wrong word threw the entire meaning off and, while as a reader it is clear what the intention was, it takes a moment for the "Ah-ha" moment of clarity. Misspellings also occur frequently, and, as above, they do not detract too much for the most part.
Aside from the themes that Nazari touches upon, another gem in the book are the motivational quotations Nazari borrows to prove a point. These are wonderful gems, and there are one - and sometimes two - for every of the fifty golden lessons. Quotes like the Japanese proverb "Fall seven times, stand up eight" made me that much more determined not to give up. Shakespeare's "It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves" made me smile and nod in agreement. And countless others helped support the themes that Nazari wanted us to understand.
Aside from syntax and misspelling errors, this is a book with eternal messages worth internalizing. While these errors were distracting at times or caused a momentary pause, that did not get in the way of its purpose. Is 50 Life's Golden Lessons perfect? No, but neither is life, and there is still a lot to be learned from life and 50 Life's Golden Lessons.
