Summary
“Success doesn’t man the absence of failures; it means the attainment of ultimate objectives. It means winning the war, not every battle.”
– Quoted by Edwin C. Bliss
Its basic idea was to make its readers understand the true meaning of success and not envy against Failures. Failures are the stepping stones of Success. If success is taken for granted it becomes hard to hold it for a longer time. Treat failures with utmost respect.
Every chapter starts with a new and related quote to motivate the readers.
The above para is the simplest meaning of this book. The book’s is to motivate its readers who wants to live a rich and fulfilling life. The author clearly mentions that, this book is not for those who are satisfied and don’t want to change themselves.
Your attitude is determined by how you think and behave. It will help if you keep the right attitude while facing any circumstance. Often the people you surround yourself with affect your attitude. Your attitude serves as a foundation and by having a solid foundation, you make sure that other things fall in the right place.
The main 3 E’s influencing the behavior of a person are: Environment, Experience, Education.
You won’t become charming by faking your behaviour. Do exercise, read books, do exciting things, work with amazing people. Knowing this would help you in developing and maintaining the right mindset.
You always have a choice. So it’s up to you what attitude you choose.
According to the author, you should stick with a positive attitude. A positive attitude helps you stay more productive, reduces stress, encourages you to be a problem solver, and improves the quality of your life. Conversely, a negative attitude do you more harm than good and often leads you to resentment.
The focus should focus on the changes to be welcomed with a positive attitude. No one wants to change. Because ‘change’ often requires that you leave your comfort zone and do things that you’ve never done before. At least develop a desire to change your attitude and make it right.
Change your mindset of “Can’t do it” to “how can I do it”. The author says that your energy drains a lot faster than usual when you procrastinate. You should do things without wasting your time. As you’re energy levels increases with a sense of achievement.
You’ve got to do your best at any given moment or at least utilize your time to its fullest. This is what people with a positive attitude do. They live in the present moment and do what they can do in the best possible way. The idea is to use your time in the best possible way. And to do that you’ll have to plan of course. Often people fail to get this idea right.
Especially, things like character building and teachings related to morals and ethics are entirely ignored or underestimated compared to technical knowledge.
The definition of an educated person is changed drastically. That’s because education today focuses on filling the information in our brains. Most of the so-called educated people are living encyclopedias who can’t even handle the real deals of the reality. Real education comes through real-life experiences. An educated person is competent enough to use his skills in the right circumstances.
You don’t need fancy degrees or qualifications to call yourself wise. Wisdom comes automatically when common sense is applied and accumulated in life. Common sense gives you the ability to think and differentiate between good and evil. So use it every time you make a decision.
