"I don't believe in taking right decisions, I take decisions and then make them right." Ratan Tata.
Yet here both are my favorite, One is Professional Author and other one is Entrepreneur but In both the fields I am beginner.So both of my friends are my Ideal here. This book was written by them.
So these are the three reasons behind reading this book, Now let's talk about the book,
Story is about some entrepreneurs, they want to make a place where every thing is available for human being, they are using their Ideas, Passion and trying best for this place. They face many phases and situations between the start and the end of the task. They have a dare to do this.
They may fail. But the main message of the book is 'never fear with failure always have dare towards task and success.
"Have Trust in Karma",
Always start with Effort, never think about Success and Failure just do your work with your 100%.
Being an Entrepreneur, I know there are many tough stages in every start-up but you have to dare and patience, if you have then you may move forwards otherwise

Finished with the unreasonable fellows. :) :)... It is amazing. I used to wonder if I have people like me out there who defy the rules, fail get up again and try to work towards their goals. and this one book has made me realize that I can still pursue my dreams irrespective of the no. of problems I have encountered in my life. Hats off to u Mam & Mr. Myshkin for writing this book and enlightening me at least to follow ur heart and do something for urself and good for the society too. :)... Lovely piece of work. :)
A must read and hats off to Nikita Mam for trying her hand on a non fiction book. Commendable work.

The book is an account of 10 entrepreneurs/ business persons who come in contact with the author for a short business stay they are on.
Starts with Moses. The most impressive subject in my personal opinion. This Ugandan businessman starts from zero resources and is here, seen funding many ecologically sustainable fuel projects.
Personally, I lack a knowledge of businesses, since my field of study is different. And yet, this book doesn't fail to intrigue me. The journeys of successful people is always a lesson to oneself. What's unique about this one is that it's not an account of particularly "legends" but "legends at an attainable stature".
Setting up a career often leads one into spots where it's all about taking a leap of faith. This book is about the people who did.
Definitely recommended. Especially for people in see-saw situations, pertaining to their careers or lives, on a broad spectrum.
