Aku nggak terlalu motivated pas baca buku ini, khususnya karena aku melewatkan hampir setengah bagian pertama yang memaparkan kisah orang2 sukses.

Tapi aku nggak melakukan itu tanpa alasan.

First of all, aku nggak ngeh sama terjemahannya (fyi aku baca di ipusnas, dan entah bagaimana buku ini cukup rame sampe antri gitu). But it turns out... 400 lebih halaman dikuasai oleh cerita kesuksesan para tokoh2, yang, unfortunately, narasinya terlalu kaku sampai2 sulit buat dimengerti.

Aku yang biasanya suka baca skimming jadi nggak bisa pas baca buku ini :((

Tapi setelah yang aku tangkap dari beberapa kisahnya, intinya kalau mau sukses tuh jangan nyerah, udah gitu aja. Ada peluang di depan mata jangan disia2in, gagal ratusan kali belum tentu kita nggak layak buat berhasil, dan ya bla bla bla kalimat motivasi yang agak ... basi?

Nggak ada tips spesifik atau pencerahan yang fresh yang bisa bikin aku melongo berjam2 buat meratapi hidup.

This is a quick read, advices for the young generations who want to embark in a path of doing business. A bit of this and a bit of that.
