This book is a collection of short stories, lessons, quotes, some are excerpts from three of John Maxwell's other books ("Failing Forward," "The 21 Indispensable Qualities of A Leader," and "The Success Journey: The Process of Living Your Dreams.") I found this to be a mostly effortless read, and was impressed with the amount of wisdom captured and condensed into this small book. He has broken it into three sub-sections: "Dream," "Persevere," and "Grow," sharing many keys to success to be applied daily. Here's a random sample of a couple of his quotes: "People who have given up are ruled by their darkest mistakes, worst failures, and deepest regrets. If you want to be successful, then be governed by your finest thoughts, your highest enthusiasm, your greatest optimism, and your most triumphant experiences." "Success is not a destination thing - it's a daily thing." "Do something you hate every day, just for the practice."
I gained more appreciation for John Maxwell in this reading, and now will be getting his other books mentioned above, to read and add to my library.

This may seem like a small book, but this book will help you realize your success is not a destination but a journey. The point? Begin that journey.

This book will be found not on my bookshelf but in my purse. “You will never change your life until you change something you do daily. The secret of your success is found in your daily routine.” John C. Maxwell

So what are you going to change today?

Fascinating quick read. Everyone should read this at some point in their lives especially in their 30’s.

A great collection of platitudes--basically a synthesis of Tony Robbinss, Zig Ziglar, Brian Tracy. While all those people can be unbearable, a little soupçon of them can be inspiring for little daily reminders.

A quick read as it's mostly quotes and little inspiring stories of success. Success is certainly more than money, fame and prestige. Success is living out the hard work to achieve your dreams and success is acting on that today. It pushed the idea that success on a large scale starts with changing your daily routine, right now. This books gives the reader an inspiring do it now desire and the encouragement in knowing great things take a lot of time and work and that we shouldn't give up.

Some of my favorite's from this were:

"Success is going from failure to failure without losing your enthusiasm" -Abe Lincoln

"If you keep doing what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always gotten" -J. Maxwell

"Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up." -Thomas Edison

And I think my favorite was,

"By perseverance the snail reached the arc." -Charles Spurgeon

Este libro es una recopilación de citas, frases célebres, proverbios e historietas que de forma general conducen a lo mismo: tratan de inspirar al trabajo arduo y una actitud positiva para alcanzar éxito en la vida.

Me hubiera gustado más el libro si hubiera constado de más historias en lugar de tantas frases. Esto debido a que siento las lecciones aprendidas a través de una historia perduran más en la mente (en comparación con las frases) y por lo tanto pueden ser más útiles como inspiración; mientras que las citas o frases, aunque nos pueden impactar/gustar al instante de leerlas, generalmente tienden a evaporarse de nuestra mente con facilidad.

It's a quick little read that is light on substance but heavy on nuggets of wisdom. It's one of those books that you have to sort of drink in and then think about; in fact the preface advises you read the book in one or two sittings, then keep it handy for random reference. You can't take the wisdom too literally, but there is plenty to ponder over and apply to a multitude of contexts, in addition to some beautifully selected quotes. This book is being added to my "most essential" collection of books because I can see myself flipping through it to remind myself, or to share with others.

When I picked up this book I had forgotten my previous experience with one of the author's works. I was reminded in short time however, and it all came back. There were even sections of the previous book that were just dropped into this one. I'm sure the author's intentions are good but not much else about this work was. This is just a package of soundbites, nothing really substantive, and that is a pity because I felt that it had the potential to be more.

Sukses adalah sebuah proses menuju arah hidup yang lebih baik.
Tidak serta merta mudah diraih, karena harus dilakukan hari demi hari. Tidak ada kekuatan untuk meraih sukses, selain semangat dan konsistensi diri untuk berubah lebih baik dan lebih baik lagi.
PEngorbanan pun dibutuhkan untuk meraih kesuksesan tentunya....

This small book packs a big inspirational punch. I carried it in my bag all through college and nursing school. Then when I got my first nursing job, it went with me to work. Whenever I needed a daily inspiration, I would pull my book out and read some of the quotes. This would be a great gift for a new high school or college graduate.

If you're looking for an author with a lot of insight into life and growth, this isn't the book for you. If you're looking for a book with a lot of insight into life and growth, this book IS for you. Maxwell puts a lot of great tidbits to assist your daily interactions and thought life, however most are not his words. Great book to have with you when you have a few minutes to get better.

Very trite. Not a lot of input from the author - he uses a lot of other people's words (quotes) as filler to try to make this very lean book seem more substantial. Don't waste your money; just look up inspirational quotes online.
