on the first page of the book, Paul wrote:

Let us start off on the right foot by making some wrong decisions  

Paul continued on with an example: 

In 1881 George Eastman, a junior clerk, left his safe job in a local bank to start a photographic company..

But here is the interesting part..

Seven years later, he changed his company's name to "Kodak", an odd choice since it was meaningless and in those days nobody gave random names to serious products. His reasons for choosing the name were that it was short, not open to mispronunciation and it could not be associated with anything else..

Beautiful quotes by Paul:

We try to make sensible decisions based on the facts in front of us..the problem with making sensible decisions is that so is everyone else..

A son said to his father, 'Dad, I'm in trouble.'
The father asked, 'Are they going to kill you?'
The son said, 'Oh, no, no.'
His father then said, 'Son, you don't have a problem.'

You can't afford the house of your dreams..that's why it is the house of your dreams..so either find a way of getting it or be satisfied with dissatisfaction.

Whatever decision you make is the only one you could make..otherwise you would make a different one..everything we do, we choose..so what is there to regret? you are the person you chose to be..

Great people have great egos; maybe that's what makes them great..so let us put it to good use rather than try to deny it..life is all about ME anyway..

Conclusion:

Your vision of where or who you want to be is the greatest asset you have!

FAIL ONCE.

FAIL AGAIN.

FAIL BETTER.

In order to succeed in your failure, you have to think of your failed situation as a good place to start from..
