What sound better, my friends? To be pushed ahead in business life by nepotism, by family connections, by friend connections, by political or corporate agendas, or being a self-made millionaire? I believe that what sounds better is being self-made millionaire, for being self-made millionaire means that you have to work hard, have to have a certain amount of persistence and discipline, and most importantly have to have an immense desire to work hard and put in a whole lot of effort, even when the times are tough for you, and you have to face several failures and adversities, for ultimately you learn from those failures and adversities, and especially from your own mistakes and not from the mistakes of others, and it's those mistakes that you make and learn from that eventually make you a well-deserved self-made millionaire.

This book is easy to read and full of useful tips spanning a range of common scenarios. The end of it became too spiritual for me, but even those chapters left me seeing the world a little differently.

So far, very easy read with good information. Not a lot that's new to me, but good as a refresher, and a reminder to practice.
