What separates the WINNER from the QUITTER? What turns LOSERS into LEGENDS? What transforms the MUNDANE into the MAGICAL? What wipes GLOOM and sweeps life with GLORY and GUTS? It is the attitude to never give up! Not everyone born on Earth is successful. Success comes to those who pursue their goal with persistence, purpose and dedication. They are the ones who can convert their dreams to reality. They never give up on their dreams, no matter what the odds are. Enriched with simple techniques and stories, this book is a practical guide to developing the attitude to stay strong, confident and committed in the journey towards achieving one’s dream.
A very short and effective book and the author has not used any jargon. The book as its name is to the point. However, if you know about the Law of Attraction, some of the concepts which have been used throughout the book are very much relatable.
Dr. Hardik Joshi starts with the whole sentence Never Give Up which consists of Never – 5 words | Give – 4 Words | Up – 2 Words
Suggested the approaches that you need to build a strong attitude.
• Dream - Like the Heart of our Body Dreams are the foundation of a person’s life. Each human on Earth is endowed with talent. One must identify, embrace and feel proud of the talent they have. Consider it a gift not everyone has because each individual has different sets of skills and talents. You must have a dream, a goal that you want to achieve in life. Many times our dreams are in line with our talent.
• Visualization - Like the Lungs of our Body Lungs are responsible for supplying oxygen to the entire body. This oxygen is very important for the body to function. Similarly, visualization is important for your dreams. It acts as a pillar of your foundation.
• Affirmation - Like a Vein of our Body Veins carry oxygenated blood from the heart to all body parts. It also carries deoxygenated blood from the body parts back to the heart. This is exactly how affirmation works. It helps to spread positivity and remove all the negativity you are surrounded by. Affirmation helps to chase one’s dreams.
• Plan - Like the Ribs of our Body Prepare a Layout to take Actions that are Necessary Visualizing the dream alone is not enough. This only ensures you are ready to take action. The next step is to plan. Planning is a very important process as it helps you move closer to your dreams. A plan acts as the sail of your ship. It makes sure you are sailing in the right direction and helps you towards it. By chalking down a path to reach your dreams, you are ensuring that you reach your destination within the stipulated time set by you.
• Effort - Like the Spinal Cord of our Body Efforts bridge the gap between dreams and reality. Putting in effort is really important as it helps us to realize our dreams into reality. Every time you put in the effort, you are closer to achieving what you really want.
• Focus - Like a Bone of our Body Focusing is a significant and essential part of our attention and interest. The bones are dynamic organs and are responsible for the structure and shape of the body. Similarly, the focus is crucial for shaping and structuring our dreams. When you are focused, it is easier to remain concentrated in difficult times as well.
• Determination - Like a Muscle of our Body Determination is one of the most valuable qualities that every successful person has. Muscles provide strength to the body and help us in movement. Muscles store everything in the form of glycogen. Similarly, determination provides strength to our dream.
• Self-Motivation - Like the Liver of our Body Motivation is not only required when we cannot achieve our dream but is also required when we are in the right direction. Without a healthy liver, it is very difficult for a person to live a healthy life. Without self-motivation, it is very difficult to make our dreams come true.
• Persistence - Like the Kidney of our Body If the kidneys do not function properly, there are chances we may land in trouble. If they stop working, we may even lose our life. Similarly, persistence helps us stay positive by eliminating negativity during difficult times. Our dream expires in the absence of persistence.
• Gratitude - Like the Brain of our Body Gratitude is the quality of being thankful and showing appreciation for an act of kindness. It is a miracle. It turns impossible things into possibilities. Gratitude is the key ingredient to increasing the quality of our lives.
• Celebration - Like Dopamine and Serotonin hormones in our Body Though celebrations are an important quality of life, it is one of the most underestimated and under-utilized qualities in our mission to make our dream a reality. Celebrate your small achievements, Push yourself to do more, and reward yourself for significant accomplishments.
To build an attitude that is strong and unbreakable try to combine as many as possible characteristics described above. Sure a day will come when the impossible will be possible.
Thank you Dr. Hardik Joshi for sharing this through a must-read book.
This was just another motivational book for me after reading so many books on personal development, self-help, and professional growth. But for beginners, this is a good book to start with.
The author discusses the following life lessons in the book: Dreams, Visualisation, Affirmation, Plan, Effort, Focus, Determination, Self-motivation, Persistence, Gratitude, and Celebration.
This book's unique and creative part is the author's comparison of the above lessons to an organ of our body. The author has adopted a very informative and listicle writing style that helps you understand every life lesson and guides you towards inculcating them in your daily life. The concluding chapter shares the inspiring story of the author, and after reading that, the first thing that came to my mind was, 'If he could do it, so can I, and so can many others. Let's not give up ourselves so soon.'
This is worth reading for beginners and young adults who need to learn these lessons to continue growing.
In his book, Dr. Hardik Joshi discusses one of the most common issues we all face at some point of time in our life – the point at which we elect to give up, the time when we decide we can no longer push forward to go ahead and achieve our goals.
In a very simplistic way, Dr. Joshi describes the best way to achieve our dreams and goals, a method that can be used in our everyday life, from achieving the simplest targets to the most outrageous dreams. In eleven steps, he shows us how we can develop a confident attitude, not only by explaining the significance of each step to achieve our goal, but also their importance to each of the other steps.
While the book tends to get a bit dry in places, the overall read is illuminating.
With simple tools that can be put into practice and stories that inspire us, Dr. Joshi has managed to show us how to use our individual personality traits to develop an attitude that can take us far and wide.
It is certainly a book that will help you; not only to realise where you have drifted, but also how to correct your course and get back on track.
