احلم - خطط - نفذ - تألق

صحيح أن الكتاب مثالي بعض الشيء

لكن أعجبني فيه توازنه بين الجهة الفكرية الثقافية والجهة العملية

تكلم تقريباً عن كل شيء
الكاتب صغير في السن, ووضع خلاصة أفكاره في هذا الكتاب

وفي آخر فصل كتب : إن الحياة هبة من الله تعالى, والسبيل الوحيد لشكل الله هو أن تحيا حياة إيمانية عميقة تقدم من خلالها أشياء عظيمة

قرأت هذا الكتاب في السنة الماضية ، كنت حينها في الصف الأول ثانوي ، أتذكر أني كنت أقرأه في حصص الفراغ و أقتنص الفرص حتى أقرأه أيضًا في أثناء الحصص و لهذا الكتاب دور كبير في غسل دماغي ، جعلني انتبه أكثر لشغفي ، لأهدافي ، و اعطاني الدافعية أن أرجع للماضي و اهتمامات الطفولة حتى أكتشف ما أهواه فعلًا و أن أعمل بحب بغض النظر عن النتيجة ، المهم أن أكون سعيدة و الباقي سيأتي في المرتبة الثانية ، الكتاب متكامل و تحدث عن جميع الجوانب المهمة .

I have read this book several times, and I will read it again. The only book with only practical ideas on starting your own business. Not that other books I have read on this are not practical, but those books indirectly connect things, while Patrick has written explicitly what needs to be done to start a business and leave your pathetic job! His encouragement to think big, is really the biggest way of encouraging anybody.
