Reading the whole book in a week

in #reading6 years ago

Today is the last day of the whole week, and tomorrow will be another new day, a new start point in the journey of my life.

But you know, I just finished one Original English book this week, the sense of achievement is beyond my word.

Although I have to admit that all the work is done in a hurry.

But you know it means a lot to me, cause you start to do what you can't.

Here I am going to talk about this book《The Hidden Milionaire》

All start from a story of a boy who finally became a millionaire called Anthony.

In this book, he told us how he became a successful businessman and the 12 principles to succeed.

when he was a little boy, his is full of passion for playing baseball and he found that
many people who are fans of baseball dying for the signed cards of famous players
and of course, he was just one among them……and he sought out the method to make money.

he was a fan of cars before the financial condition of his family was in a mess, and after his father failed in the stock market, he did the online marketing about the parts of the car to make a living, saving the family from the darkness, and in addition cheering up his father.

At that time, he was just a 12-year-old boy doing online business, but the sharp sense of opportunity which I think is inspiring. someone could say it's a gift and assume that is innate.

And after that, he did a series of things which are amazing even many times in a totally new industry and he did well and make good friends and money in the process. He is a really successful people in my imagination.

"Finding your passion" impressed me a lot most from the book.

It inspires me to think about my life, my passion.

As I can see, here are some common traits among these successful people.

They all are passionate about what they are doing.

They learn and work at the same time.

They are willing to take actions and take risks.

Here are the 12 Principles He provides to be successful:

Developing an Entrepreneurial Mindset

New ideas are all around you

Being Aggressive

Striving to acquire Knowledge

Don't be afraid to take risks

Starting Small but Thinking Big

Balance work and Life

Never allow yourself to become complacent

Trusting your Instincts

Invest in yourself

With success comes Responsibility

Build a Reliable Network

It's true that some people are born with an ability to "think" like an entrepreneur, and they do have a definite advantage, but this way of thinking can be learned. All you need to do is breaking yourself and embrace the challenges.
