Have you ever wondered about your future? Are you undecided, uncertain or scared of going on this path? This book lays out 10 simple, straightforward questions to help you decide if you can/should chase it. It is a short book, but you have to constantly think about your dream as you read along, which makes it longer than other books with the same number of pages.
Content: The 10 questions Maxwell laid out in this book are those that we will have to consider on our path towards whatever we aim to achieve. It contains many inspiring stories of people overcoming adversities and ultimately leaving a lasting legacy after their death. Your dream may not be as ambitious as those in this book, but it definitely is still relevant in our day-to-day lives.
Estimated reading time needed: 10h
1) There is no perfect timing for us to "get started" on achieving our dreams. There will always be something that hinders our path towards our dreams, and no journey is smooth-sailing all the time. We have to seize the moment and go after it no matter where we are.
2) Our dreams don't have to be big, but they should be powerful to you. Don't let society set the standard of success for you - it doesn't have to be all about money or rankings; decide it for yourself.
3) If your dream depends a lot on luck, you're in trouble. If it depends entirely on luck, you're living in Fantasyland.
4) The more concerned you become with things you can't control, the less you will do to improve the things you can control.
5) Life is, at best, messy. It's filled with surprises - both good and bad.
Recommendation: There were many things I've learned from this book, and it truly helped me in my personal growth and realisation of my dream. Be stern with yourself if/when you read this book, ask yourself those questions and answer them truthfully. Lying to yourself benefits no one. It was a pleasure to read this book, and am excited to read more of Maxwell's writings in the future. Do give this book a try, you will not regret it.
