    About this ebook

    Why are some people rich and successful? How did they achieve success? Did they have an external influence, or did they succeed through their own hard work?

    We all have desires and aspirations for money, power, and fame. At the back of it is the need for financial security and achievement. Although these things are common across people, there is a huge variation as to what different people achieve in life. What are the reasons for this anomaly?

    The reasons lie within us. Although there is no restriction in having dreams and wishes, we set very low targets and goals for ourselves. The hard fact is that you may achieve 70 percent or 90 percent of your target, but you will never achieve more than your target. By setting lower targets and by having lower aspirations, you are only stunting your growth. To start with, all of us have same the potential, but most of us are not even aware of the powers of our mind and our body.

    Professor Ahluwalia highlights all these aspects and lays down the road map for you to realize your power and potential and how to succeed in life, achieving the success you richly deserve.

      PREFACE

      Success is the most sought after thing in every person’s life- whether it is succeeding in professional life, business or relationship. And the interesting thing about success is that it can be achieved in different ways. One can succeed in business or profession by being ethical or by cheating, frauds etc. In our day to day life we come across various instances of cheating and frauds. The end result is same, which is, getting rich and achieving your goals, but therein lays the BIG difference. When a person leads principled, ethical and honest life, he may take longer to succeed but his success will be longer lasting and he will be at peace with himself. On the other hand the person who achieves success through cheating and shot cuts may achieve quick results but his success will be short lived and he will be always under stress. In this book when we talk of success we mean success based on principles and ethics. The sole purpose of this book is discuss and find ways and means of achieving true, long term success.

      For achieving true success in any area we need three things i.e. knowledge, skills, and character. For character we need to have principles, ethics and rich values. It therefore becomes necessary to understand the fundamentals about principles, ethics, traditions and values which are close to our heart. This can be understood only when we learn and practice spirituality. For this purpose the first few chapters of this book are on spirituality.

      Nature has given us two very powerful entities namely Mind and Body. Our mind is so powerful that we can conceive great ideas and grandiose designs for us, to achieve. Our Mind works round the clock. Similarly our Body, which is the visible part, is the most sophisticated and powerful machine capable of achieving anything that our mind decides.

      The most important part is that with help of these entities we can do, both good and bad things. It is for us to decide whether we do negative things or positive things. To ensure that we use our Mind and Body for doing only good and positive things it is necessary that we get necessary training and guidance. To achieve this objective we need to practice spirituality.

      There are already large number of books and publications on spirituality but their language, content and philosophy is put across in very sophisticated way. Most of the people, particularly youngsters, stop reading these books because they find them very
