A Book ! … A Message!

A good author leaves one message though they share a myriad of thoughts through their book…Here is a compilation in my own words ,some of the “one message(s)” from books that I have read recently…

Subroto Bagchi in his book “The Professional” :

A Professional is one who has the below two qualities :

1) Effectively needs no supervision

2) Certifies the completion of own work

David Allen in his book “Getting Things Done”:

The key to productivity, be it a small task or a big project, is to think for 10 seconds about it and determine what is that next physical action that you need to take up to move one step further.

Chris Guillebeau in “The $100 Start-Up”:

You could start-up too without big bucks,without MBA, without special skills,as long as you have the following :

Product or Service (what you sell) + People willing to pay for it (Customers) + A way to get paid (Ex., PayPal account).

Richard Koch in “Living The 80/20 Way”

You got to pare down your life the essentials and then focus all your energy into those

Steve Prentice in Cool down : Getting Further by Going Slower

Even the Ferraris need "Pit-Stop" breaks...Take that mental break at intervals to check the "tyres"
