You Can Win
by Shiv Kera
There are some really good ‘how to enhance your journey of
life’ books from the RAs. This book, You Can Win, is no different. Shiv Khera, a popular public speaker for
those who want to change the course of their life and meet their life-long
goals, is the author of this one. His
book contains helpful reminders of the little things, such as “keeping your eyes on
the prize”, as well as more complex lessons, such as identifying what is holding us
back from reaching greatness in our life.
Khera interweaves stories and parables that are well known as well as those
that I had not heard before. He draws
upon stories of people who have reached success: Lincoln, Michael Jordan, Henry
Ford, political leaders and millionaires.
There were many reminders from the Dale Carnegie philosophy to Steven
Covey’s 7 Habits work. The main topics
include: how to improve your attitude (and why it’s important), reaching your
destination through a positive attitude, the attributes of a successful person,
what is motivation (best chapter), the importance of self-esteem in
your success, what interpersonal skills are needed for successful teams, how
one’s personality enhances their chances of success, how our subconscious (once
trained) makes us better, goal setting, and, of course, connecting to our value
set to guide our decisions. This is a
strong reminder of how important our personal approach and characteristics are
for a successful career. I highly
encourage anyone who is rethinking themselves to add this book to the top of
your reading list.
