"Every one of us will die. But so few of us live."
Within the pages there is not just a guide to greatness, but also revolutionary ways to perform at our peak. A way to get balance in our lives, examples of world's most successful people and the secrets for personal and business mastery.
I absolutely love Robin's writing style as it is less complex, straight forward and feels like having one to one communication with him. The author pushes our thinking power and provokes us to ask ourselves the questions we never even thought about. The life and business lessons in here are simple to understand. Most of the thoughts are known by all of us, but here we are shared the ways to practice those thoughts and transform our lives.
Here we get to learn a lot by the examples of the world class personalities like Steve Jobs, Gandhi, Mother Teresa, Jack Welch, Bill Gates, Harvey Keitel and many more. This man states the wisdom he has received right from Madonna to SpongeBob SquarePants. Incredible! We can now try to find and evaluate wisdom and act of kindness from cartoons even!
"A mind once stretched to a new idea can never return to its original dimensions."
Sharma also discusses his daily practices to make everyone a better version of themselves.
"There is no situation that is not transformable. There is no person who is hopeless. There is no set of circumstances that cannot be turned about by human beings and their natural capacity for love of the deepest sort."
The book was no doubt interesting, but some parts seemed repetitious. The author has also included a few topics from his other books which I've read earlier and that made it wearisome to read with 100% of my attention. Yet there are a numerous snippets of motivation which truly gave me reasons to be unstoppable and work at my best. Along with being at your best and working at your highest peak, the author doesn't forget to mention the importance of self-care.
On your next flight, listen to your flight attendant. "Put the oxygen mask on your own mouth before you try to help any one else." The logic is clear: If you can't breath, you are useless to those around you.
