Cannot really say that I thoroughly enjoyed this book, for this book has brought a lot of terrible and painful memories as I was reading it. I don't blame the author for that, I blame myself for that, and nobody else, for I've yet to learn some of the most valuable lessons in life, and how to accept defeat, how to accept the loss, and how to accept failure. In fact, we've all got to learn how to accept defeat, how to accept the loss, and how to accept failure, in order to move on with our lives and hope for something brand new to appear and arrive, something so brand new that would eventually made us forget about the past that has happened and made us hopeful for our future that hasn't happened yet.

There is so much to this book. It has motivated me to start my 2014 off on the right start.

Great ideas, advise, examples, quotes, and one great read. A whole lot of quotes that I hadn't heard before from people that we all can learn from.

It's a Christmas gift I will be keeping for years to come. (

First words

My friend robert Schuller once asked, "What would you attempt to do if you know you wouldn't fail?" That's a great question, an inspring question. When most people hear it, they start dreaming again. They are motivated to reach for their goals and to risk more.
