We all want to be successful and for that, we must take efforts in right direction. If we want to achieve

our goals, overcome all the challenges that we face in our lives we must change ourselves, change our

habits as given in the book. The roadmap towards success leads through the habits proposed by the author

and those habits can be learned by practice and over the period of time. However, we must be open to
