I always thought that these inspirational books were a load of bull. In fact, i believe a lot of them are. It usually is common sense regurgitated in a better fashion. Well, considering that common sense is rare nowadays, going through some of these books makes sense.
The book mentioned above is in fact a small one. Around 100 pages. Presented in the form of a small story. Nice reading. I did empathise with the conditions stated in the book. Am still in the process of reading the book. Just started today morning while making tea. Got involved in the book that i ended up late at office.
Some points i liked in the book:
1. Be First on, Last off, and add extra value
2. Curiosity, Obsession and dogged endurance, combined with self-critique, have brought me my ideas - Einstein.
3. Never trade results for excuses
4. Activity does not equal productivity. It's the result that counts and you should never accept an excuse for falling short.
More later ..
This is also appraisal time for a lot of companies. Maybe, this set of points might help introspect for the future. I liked the Einstein saying. It seems that people were more interested in his genetic make-up that he was very pissed off about it. Nobody seemed to be giving him credit for his hard work :). Well, i maybe exagerating here. It's however kind of taken for granted that if there is a huge achievement in the academic side, there is something different or "More" about the grey matter that the person holds.
