This book contains 365 tips things to do to make the day memorable. The message of the
book is by doing things that you cherish you can make everyday of your life memorable. I
have extracted a few tips from the book. More tips and details of the tips are available
in the book. When I read through the book I found the concept very good and indeed I had
implemented some of the tips and I can say that I still cherish those days. Examples are:
A recent picnic trip is one. During my college days I spent an entire day just reading a
book. I still remember those as special in my life. I think by following these tips we can
make our lives worth cherishing every day. Try them out - Kishore C.S.
