[Mahmoud ElSherif]

recommended book for leaders ...it differentiates clearly between aggressiveness , assertiveness and weakness.
Here are some advices that summarize the book :

1. Genetics ain’t fair - physically or intellectually you can only go with what you’ve got.
2. No one can do it for you - you have to do it for yourself.
3. If you don’t decide for yourself about your life, someone else will decide for you.
4. This is it, there is no second chance this time around.
5. The longer you don’t use it the quicker you lose it.
6. Life is a learning experience - you cannot fail, you can only choose.
7. The most important thing you can do is to choose, the worst thing you can do is
not pursue your choice.
8. Nothing is free - good things take time and they come in very thin slices.
9. You are your biggest asset and your best resource.
10. You know all that you need to know to do what you have to do.
“The more you do of what you’re doing the
more you’ll get of what you’ve got.”

كتاب ظريف لطيف مفيد -كأغلب هذه الأسلسلة- في مجاله. لم أجد ترجمة مناسبة لهذه الكلمة-اسيرتفنس ! و لكن الحزم قد تكون قريبة منها.

و جدير بالذكر أني لا أعرف كثيرا ممن يتحدث عن هذه الصفة في أدبيات تطوير الذات. مهمة لمن أراد الإنجاز.
