I'm currently reading this book for the third time and still haven't grown tired of it. A friend of my parents' gave it to me as a present during my undergrad studies. He told me that If i'd read this book, follow the principles and work ethics outlined in it, I would undoubtedly yield success in my future career. It is really the perfect example of someone who came from nowhere, in a country torn apart by war, and climbed all the way up and built one of the largest conglomerates in the world. This book is a collection of his experiences on his way to success, and probably the most inspiring book that I've read until now. A few paragraphs:"People who come up with "It may not work" or "What are we going to do if it fails?" do not have the credentials to be businessmen. If there is only a 1 percent chance of success, a true businessperson sees that 1 percent as the spark to light a fire."
"People who want to become the best, try their very best. If you try your best, you may not always come out on top, but you will come close to it. On the other hand, if you think that you cannot do it, that you don't have the capabilities, then you will never accomplish anything."
"Many years ago a Hungarian soccer star was interviewed after his team captured first place in a European competition. One of the reporters asked him about his secret to success. He said whenever he had time, he kicked the soccer ball; when he was not kicking the ball, he was talking about soccer; and when he was not talking about soccer, he was thinking about it."
