NEE VELVAI — Illayorai Thisaipadutha…: Joe Arun; Aster Publishers and Distributors, Chennai-600082. Rs. 60.
THIS WORK seeks to serve as a guide for youngsters, particularly students, to emerge successful. The author Joe Arun prescribes 10 steps for success, detailing each with interesting anecdotes from his childhood, and the lives of celebrated personalities from different walks of life.
The author emphasises the need to understand oneself first. Deeming oneself to be unintelligent could result in an inferiority complex that would deter growth. Understanding one’s capabilities and believing in oneself is the key, he notes. Identifying a “fire within”, which keeps fuelling one’s dream to achieve one’s goal, is the second step, says Arun.
Managing one’s emotions well, taking responsibility for one’s actions and being watchful, working very hard, putting in effort in a consistent manner, maintaining good health, dreaming big and believing that the dreams would come true and avoiding procrastination are the other steps dealt with by the author.
The strength of the book is in its simplicity and accessibility. Each chapter has been written keeping in mind the target audience. The style is easy and vivid.
