April 17, 2009

I got a chance to read a book called “It’s All a Matter Of ATTITUDE” written by Justin Herald. Thanks to my friend to lend me the nice book. In my life i have never read a book like this. I can recommend every people to read this book.

Really surprised.! Because i have already followed some of the points specified in the book in my life. This was a great sync between me and this book. So i was impressed and finished the book at a great pace. Due to this my friend gifted this book to me.

I have an attitude to share my knowledge with my friends/colleagues/peoples around me, hence this blog post. Surely all the points are helpful to improve/enhance your life well.

Leadership & Ownership

I have already written a blog about Leadership. Read it here

  • Leadership
    • True leaders, will always have people following them.
