$$ Live Your Dream $$

Take Risks! Dare to be Different! Persevere!
These were some of the messages from the 2 books shared by Alvin and Rineal today...

Alvin's book by Dennis Wee "Get Rich Now" shared strategies on how to change not only your mentality but also the action to take to achieve financial success. For those of you who are not familiar with the author, Dennis Wee is a self-made local millionaire who struck it rich in the properties industry. His book shares 15 strategies that includes making more out of less (leveraging) and the power of perseverance (never say die!). The book has pictures of Wee with famous persons in Singapore such as President S R Nathan, showing that you need to promote yourself in order to be successful.

However, Alvin felt that the book did not detail enough about Wee's personal path to success only in fairly general terms.

Siew Yong included that Wee had presented at NLB's last Staff Forum (in Feb) for the librarians and above. He basically touched on themes such as "thinking out of the box" and "working hand in hand" to achieve success.

In contrast, Rineal's book, "I can't believe I get paid to do this" was more comprehensive. The author interviewed several successful people in their fields who had dared to follow their dream. The interviews were presented in an easy to read Q&A format. What was very useful about the book was that after each guiding principle, it was followed with coaching questions that you should ask yourself and action steps to take to achieve personal success, be it financially, spiritually or otherwise. Kind of like a personal coach motivating you!
