Difficult task is to define success. Most people make it equivalent to wealth, power, and happiness. But true success is not something you acquire or achieve. Rather, it is a journey that is undertaken and lasts a lifetime. In a fresh, direct and humorous style, John C. Maxwell shares his ideas about what it means to be successful. It reveals a definition that puts genuine success within your grasp, and motivates you to keep fighting for your dreams.
Argument
For some, it may mean being healthy or reaching career goals, while for others, being successful may mean showing off your luxury car or latest purchases. However, success could be considered as defined by John C. Maxwell: success is a journey.
Success comes to people who manage to be aware of it. You have to be ready to receive it and for this you have to know what you want. You need to be clear about what that reason would be, the why in your life, your what, in order to make the decision to invest time and effort in that particular trip. In addition, we are told that we must also include exercises that will help us sharpen our thoughts , plan our methods and learn to advance.
