Hope and optimism for life's battle "Life is a puzzle, to be sure... But to every puzzle there is an answer." The power to do anything you want resides only within you.
In this book, author has outlined methods of living and attitudes of mind that one can follow to win over any obstacle that may come your way in life. It highlights all the possible sources of your spiritual and personal power and tells you how you can use them to your best possible advantage..
Some of the phrases that I liked the most are:-
destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice.
Age is not determined by the calendar or the birth certificate, but by the inner spirit.
The key to success consists of the willingness to work and work hard. Abraham Lincoln was asked the secret of his success and he replied that it consists of three things 1) work, 2) work and 3) work.
Genius it 2% inspiration and 98% perspiration.
There is a divine spark in each of us, but many of us never fan it to a flame.
Why is one person able to see a deeper and finet shading, a profounder meaning in life than another? Why is it that some people do so much more with life than others? We are all in the same world. We see the same sky. We walk under the same stars; the same sunlight and rain fall upon our faces. Some people see in it deep and radiant beauty. Aware of its profound possibilities they make of life a result of superior quality. Others, seeing little in it and being blind to its larger possibilities, sadly enough are not so successful.
Satisfactory definition of success is - to develop the soul in greatness. To see deeply into life, to taste deeply of it, to gain power over it, to stand in the midst of it- strong, perfectly integrated, kindly, spiritually minded- that is success. To make your life count for others; to contribute to human well-being - that is success. To compose your soul in peace and power - that is success.
In a deep sense the secret of true success in living is the establishment of a real and vital personal contact with that ineffable being we call God.
Do your best, work hard, keep calm and trust God - that is the way to win in life.
