Success is a matter of attitude. It is a matter of what you think you are capable of. It is a matter of futuristic thinking and planning. It is about doing things carefully. Instead of getting out of your car without looking at the speeding car zooming towards you, you can be more careful. You can also, climb down a little carefully so that you don't fall off the aircraft stairs. In fact, it is also about taking a couple of backups in your computer in case it is the most important project of your life.
And then it is about counting your chickens before they hatch... and about a positive attitude... and about believing that: "if you think you can, you are right".
Passion works wonders and all examples mentioned in the book from Henry Ford to John F. Kennedy from Gautam Buddha to Swami Vivekananda, From J. R. D. Tata to Dhirubhai Ambani, from Beethoven to Helen Keller, from Aung San Suu Kyi to Mao Tse Tung, from Ed Roberts to Stephen Hawking, from Albert Einstein to Thomas Edison all must have had a very high passion quotient.
Che Guevara, the world's greatest ever revolutionary always felt "that you fail does not necessarily mean that the cause you were fighting for was not worth it". He dared to have a Utopian dream…and chase it. That's what counting your chickens before they hatch is all about. Che dared to dream of bringing independence with the help of a new and brave army just the way Subash Chandra Bose did. Both of them failed in their respective missions yet are counted amongst the greatest success stories. They were successful in moving the thought processes of an entire generation-the ideology and vision they were passionately committed to.
