WHY Book by Abdul Ghaffar

This is one of the finest and astonishingly well-researched non-fiction books I have come across. WHY book by Abdul Ghaffar is about finding the answer to WHYs in our life or the reasons behind the things we do.

Everyone does several routine tasks, like waking up early in the morning to go to school/college or work, as well as important things in life like setting up goals, ambitions, and dreams. But does everyone ask why they do certain things or why do they want to achieve those goals?

Author Abdul Ghaffar mentions that if we find the answer to every important WHY, we will find the motivation to do what we do. It will help us enjoy the work and journey while avoiding procrastination and laziness. It will also help in finding interest even in routine tasks.

Role & Meaning of WHY

People will forget what you did and how you did it, but they will never forget why you did it. We have been seeing several examples of this in movies, books, as well as in real life.

Take the recent Ronaldo-Coca Cola controversy for example. When it became news, people watched and understood that he removed Coca Cola, but people most importantly wondered WHY he did it.

Thousands of YouTubers, bloggers, and news portals have created their own versions of the answers because people are looking for that WHY. It is because the purpose of the action determines the reason for your behaviour.

In life, it is crucial for everyone to know the answers to numerous WHYs. They should know the reason they are doing certain things. It is because this reason is the actual motivation, the internal motivational instinct that keeps people awake. Without a reason, nobody can find a fruitful result for their action.

Millions of people used to saw apples falling from trees. But Newton was the one who asked WHY. With this why, he proposed important laws that changed Physics completely.
