Sometimes we even make big compromises that we don’t want to both on personal and professional level. By the time, we realize the self-created mess in our life, it becomes too late. There is no turning back. We know that life throws challenges to us; tests us at different stages and if we keep our spirits high then that phase soon becomes a history.

The book is full of lessons and quotes worth pondering and getting back to any time you feel lost and need some positivity.
