Here comes the next one. I decided to do book reviews because I thought reviewing each book after I finish reading it not only helps me to revise but also to helps it stay in my head. So here I am. However I do realise that I am still new and there lots to learn. I am no expert, just someone who loves sharing knowledge. To me, knowledge shared is worth so much more than knowledge kept to oneself.


I got this book from FED. Initially I didnt want to buy this book cos I didnt really like the cover. The guy on the cover looks kinda old..haha..I know its lame...anyway Dr Wong (President of BWW Malaysia) recommended it and I saw many people rushing to buy it..I thought why not. Its only a thin book, no big deal.


What I like most about the book is that it uses simple English Language. I had no idea what this book was about and that never happens before. I always make sure I research about the the book I want to buy before actually buying it. The purchase of this book was merely spontaneous.


Basically this story is about 2 people, Oscar a young boy and Oscar, his mentor. They got onto a good start with Roy mentoring Oscar about dreams, goal setting, desire, leadership, persistence, having a positive attitude, purpose and many more. What makes the story interesting is how Roy uses every situation teach Oscar something useful about life. After all, learning and applying certainly works better than just learning without applying.


Another feature about the book that I really like is that it comes with success cards. The success cards consists of lessons to be learned behind each and every situation. What really amazes me is how Roy managed to give the right card at the right time. His pocket must be big to keep all the cards. Haha..This continues from the time Oscar was a boy until he became successful and became a millionaire himself.


Imagine having a millionaire teaching you how to be one too, not just in terms of monetary but also in terms of spiritually and morally. This book proves that not all rich people are selfish, proud and arrogant. There must be a reason why they are called rich and we are not..not yet anyway right?


My favourite quote:

Winners never talk about how hard they worked, but how great it was to win.


I like the cards so much that I photostat it and keep some of my favourites in my organisers and at my table- both at home and work. They are a reminder for me to always stay positive no matter what happens.


I recommend this book to everyone especially new ibos. Its a thin book and I finished it in 3 days. Woohoo!
