Robin
Sharma's The Little Black Book of Stunning Success is
published for the first time in the world by Jaico Books. This book
contains short write ups which will help you achieve your goals. As
the blurb says, if you're truly ready to live your dreams, this
book is your fuel.
The
author's writing, as always, is simple and easy to understand. The
examples he gives are easy to relate and inspiring. This book is not
about making great acts, it is about doing simple things, which will
inevitably total into a big picture. To quote a line from the book –
The best way to get to your greatness is through small continuous
steps – what I call the '1% wins.'
The
author says, I'm not the someone who would every tell you that you
could get to your dreams without having to make some sacrifices and
pay the price in terms of dedication and self-control. Speaking
of focus, he says 'The most successful human beings are wildly
focused. They have a very clear picture of what it is they want to
create by the time they reach the end of their lives and then they
have the discipline (and courage) to stick to their mission, saying
“no” to everything that is not the mission critical.'
Telling
us to enjoy life, the author tell us that we take life too seriously.
But at the end, the billionaire gets buried next to the street
sweeper. We all end up as dust.
According
to the author one of the primary traits of the world-class performers
(in business and in life) is their ability to 'detach from the
noise.' Each day, 'noise' such as little crises, minor
interruptions and interesting distractions beg for our attention. To
get to your own unique form of personal and professional greatness,
it's important – no, essential – to detach from the noise and
stay 'on vision.'
Imparting
an important lesson, the author says, “the hours that ordinary
people waste extraordinary people leverage.” Speaking of
difficult times he says, 'The challenging pieces of our lives just
might be when we are most alive. And, if you are awake to them, they
always bring tiny miracles.'
Indeed
this book hold tremendous potential to uplift your life. It will help
you overcome your weaknesses, build your strenghths and live your
ultimate dream.
