(Focus on today to succeed in future) is the main message of the book (TODAYS MATTER) for John C. Maxwell. The author states 12 daily practices one should follow to achieve this success.
The author starts with an important subject: Wrong concepts that people have about success. These wrong concepts will prevent people from achieving the real success. Examples for these wrong concepts are:
- We believe that success is impossible, so we criticize it.
- We think that success will come from luck, so we hope it will come to us.
- We believe that success lies in an opportunity, so we wait for it.
- We think that success source is appreciation, so we try our best to get it.
After that, the author ensures concept of (Importance of the day). He states that people achieve success through focusing on their day since their day is all they own. Past is gone and future is not granted.
(Today could be a masterpiece) is the next subject that the author talks about. He mentions under this subject that success secret is in the daily agenda and one can't change his life unless he changes something he does daily.
How a day can be a masterpiece? John Maxwell answers this question with two points:
- Good decisions today will give you better tomorrow.
- The exercises you practice today will ensure a better tomorrow.
What is the first step towards success? Two things: Strat with yourself and start early. Applying these two important things will ensure ones success.
The book is very interesting and useful, so I advise everyone who seeks success in life to read and apply the concepts.
