ANOTHER ESSENTIAL 2-IN-1 COMPANION

Preface
Another Essential 2-in-1 Companion is a sequel to the
earlier book An Essential 2-in-1 Companion. It too is
an invaluable guide and reference book for all students,
parents, teachers and people who care for the good education
of children and youths.
The aims and objectives of the book are listed as follows:
* To help in the self-development of students from the
primary to the tertiary level
* To inculcate good moral values and virtues
* To promote logical, creative, divergent and lateral thinking
* To motivate and inspire the young and old in learning
many LIFE lessons
Another Essential 2-in-1 Companion is divided into two
main sections, namely
I Words of Motivation and Inspiration
A total of 70 motivational and inspirational pieces in prose
and poetic forms are presented with the aim of developing a
host of values and virtues for self-development. The writings
will be of great benefit to readers of all ages in coping with
the many trials and tribulations and challenges of life.
Reflection on the various writings of motivation and
inspiration can help in developing positive thinking, good
attitude and inculcating many good values such as love,
kindness, gratitude, courage, patience, self-confidence,
honesty, effort, determination, contentment and so on.
Lists of good motivational and inspirational books and
internet websites are given so that lots of rich material and
resources can be tapped.

II Creative Mental Exercise

There is a variety of thinking problems and puzzles involving
the use of the left and right brain. Many diagrams and
illustrations help make the writing clearer. The puzzles and
brain teasers range from riddles, mathematical problems,
creative games to lateral thinking puzzles.
Practice and working at the various types of puzzles and
teasers can help one to keep his mind sharp, alert, creative
and clear. Experts have said that solving puzzles, teasers
and other thinking problems can reduce the chances of
developing dementia at a later stage.
Answers and solutions to all puzzles and teasers are
provided at the end of the book.
We strongly believe that Another Essential 2-in-1
Companion will indeed be a truly useful companion. We
know that this book will be of tremendous help and benefit to
the young and not-so-young!
May this Companion anywhere, anytime
help to open your heart and enrich your mind!
