This book shows you how to shake off all the sloth and lethargy and get cracking right away on your tasks and goals in life. The book is liberally sprinkled with myriad stories, anecdotes and events that inspire us to follow in the footsteps of those who achieved greatness. It teaches you how to overcome old habits and encumbrances on your journey to the highest peaks and how to mould your circumstances, rather than be moulded by them. And once you learn to face life head-on with loads of self-assurance and self-confidence, success and well-being will be yours for the asking. #v&spublishers CONTENTS: Preface 1.
