Download or read book One Book for Life Success written by Venu G. Somineni and published by Venu G Somineni. This book was released on 2009-12 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You know, there is a reason why only five percent of the world population is successful while only a very small percentage of the population loves what they do today. Life is all about a series of choices and experiences. Success can be defined by many ways - it exists in the context of who you are, what you love, where you are now, what is the purpose of life, and what do you want to achieve. For instance, many people who achieve fortunes in the world are not born rich. Over 70% of the world's billionaires are self-made. According to Forbes (Oct09), there are 274 billionaires of the top 400 richest people in America, and they are all self-made. They literally started from zero and made their fortunes from there. If you look at the world population ratio between the rich and the poor and middle classes, it has always been 5%:95%. There are thousands of books written in the areas of personal development, success, career growth, inspiration, finance management, investment techniques and more. However, no significant change has happened yet, and very few can turn their dreams into reality. There is a large gap between the goal-setting process and making the achievement of the goal a reality today. Unfortunately, nobody was born with a manual containing a set of best practices and instructions for success. Like math, there is a true formula for success. In this book, I have shared deep insights, advice on best habits, practices, and secrets and much more, which are utilized by successful people. Knowing the best practices is one thing, but following them sincerely is what makes the real difference. At the end of this book, your eyes will be open, and you will realize many things including; the best practices for success, secrets behind successful people, what it takes to be successful, your strengths, your passions, your dreams, where you're stuck now, where you're heading, how to manifest your dreams in a short time; what is life all about, how to be happy forever and much, much more. This book is for students, employees, business people, and of course, for all the successful people to achieve even more.WHAT LEADERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THIS BOOK...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Praise for Overloaded and Underprepared “Parents, teachers, and administrators are all concerned that America’s kids are stressed out, checked out, or both—but many have no idea where to begin when it comes to solving the problem. That’s why the work of Challenge Success is so urgent. It has created a model for creating change in our schools that is based on research and solid foundational principles like communication, creativity, and compassion. If your community wants to build better schools and a brighter future, this book is the place to start.” —Daniel H. Pink, author of Drive and A Whole New Mind “Challenge Success synthesizes the research on effective school practices and offers concrete tools and strategies that educators and parents can use immediately to make a difference in their communities. By focusing on the day-to-day necessities of a healthy schedule; an engaging, personalized, and rigorous curriculum; and a caring climate, this book is an invaluable resource for school leaders, teachers, parents, and students to help them design learning communities where every student feels a sense of belonging, purpose, and motivation to learn the skills necessary to succeed now and in the future.” —Linda Darling-Hammond, Charles E. Ducommun Professor of Education, Stanford University “Finally, a book about education and student well-being that is both research-based and eminently readable. With all the worry about student stress and academic engagement, Pope, Brown and Miles gently remind us that there is much we already know about how to create better schools and healthier kids. Citing evidence-based ‘best practices’ gleaned from years of work with schools across the country, they show us what is not working, but more importantly, what we need to do to fix things. Filled with practical suggestions and exercises that can be implemented easily, as well as advice on how to approach long-term change, Overloaded and Underprepared is a clear and compelling roadmap for teachers, school administrators and parents who believe that we owe our children a better education.” —Madeline Levine, co-founder Challenge Success; author of The Price of Privilege and Teach Your Children Well “This new book from the leaders behind Challenge Success provides a thorough and balanced exploration of the structural challenges facing students, parents, educators, and administrators in our primary and secondary schools today. The authors’ unique approach of sharing proven strategies that enable students to thrive, while recognizing that the most effective solutions are tailored on a school-by-school basis, makes for a valuable handbook for anyone seeking to better understand the many complex dimensions at work in a successful learning environment.” —John J. DeGioia, President of Georgetown University

I was stuck in it for years and as a Coach and Speaker, I have noticed there is a constant theme for us all. We have read all of the success books, we have gone to the seminars but when we go to execute their wonderful information a feeling comes up. We lay in bed and just don't "feel" like doing what they suggest even though we know it will make our life better. That "feeling" stops us from executing one or more steps they suggest we take to make our lives better. I couldn't overcome that feeling either. Here I was an alcoholic, a sex addict, sugar addict, spending addict, tobacco addict, love addict, I had gone bankrupt, been through two horrific divorces, a child custody battle, I played two professional sports I never wanted to play and I contemplated suicide. None of the books showed me or explained where that feeling comes from, why we all get it and how to overcome it. Without that information, I couldn't execute all of their wonderful suggestions. So this is my story and how I took all of that great information from all of those great success teachers, I collated it and then added to it. I discuss where that feeling comes from, why we all get it and how to overcome it. This book bridges the gap. When you have this information, this skillset to overcome that "feeling" than you can put into place all of their incredible advice and have the personal and professional success we are all searching for.
