كلنا بحاجة من الحين للآخر إلى كتاب يلهمنا ويدفعنا للإنجاز والتقدم, وهاد الكتاب يلي بيحوي هالشي. رغم انه في بعض الامور المكررة يلي كلنا منعرفها بس طريقة التقديم لزيزة وبحاجة نسمعها مرة تانية وتالتة كل فترة لأنو بتمثل الوقود أو التشجيع يلي بيخلينا نبحث عن شغفنا ونحب يلي عم نعمله لأنو بدون الشغف: العلاقات والشغل ما الهون فائدة ونكهة

knowledge is power when you use it.
Success- realization of a worthy ideal.
The ugly truth.
the truth will set you free - only if you buy it, ack it and take action.
When you think you are the victim, then everyone is to blame.
Accept responsibility of your own life!
Moment you blame, you give away all your power to do anything about the the things that are not working out for you. Do not blame!
Stuff you have to be thankful for, should always be at the front of your mind.
When you see value in something you invest in it.

You get out of something what you put into it.

Straight to the point. Helpful tips. Useful insights. Sam Glenn points out that the information is not new, just a new way to look at it. Great read for anyone in any stage of life, who might need just a little attitude reminder.

Even though I consider myself a driven person, sometimes my enthusiasm wanes, and it shows in my results. That is when I pull out this old favorite and give myself a kick in the attitude. It is an easy to read, no-nonsense book with simple steps to get to back on track.
