Book Review: How to Journal for Beginners by Robert Ransom What sets this book apart is its gentle encouragement. Ransom speaks directly to beginners, addressing the fears and doubts that often hold people back. He dismantles the myth that journaling is only for those with artistic talent or profound thoughts, reminding readers that every word they write has value. His message is simple but powerful: journaling isn’t about being perfect—it’s about being authentic. Ransom’s approach is refreshingly practical. He does...
1. Always raise your expectations: He says that whenever you achieve something then raise the goalpost. Professional life is full of opportunities and goals can be made and re-established easily.
2. Money must not be your ultimate goal: He explained how he never chased money. He started with four employees and his target was to reach 50 employees. He had done consultation work for some companies and became successful by providing exceptional support to those companies. He chased for excellence and achieved success.
3. Firmly stand for your cause: He explained how he firmly took a strong stance for his cause. He even denied some business rights to google because Larry Page was not accepting his logical demands. Similarly, he suggests that all of us must firmly stand for our cause and never change our targets just because they seem impossible. Sometimes we used to give up very easily when our peers demotivate us but we must have an optimistic approach. Dale Carnegie beautifully explained how everything created twice. First, our targets take birth in our minds and then take birth when they got accomplished. So we must think about why we decided to achieve any goal.
4. Focus on the right product: Oracle has a very small marketing department but has a very large team of engineers and coders. Ellison explains how his quality product helped him to spread the word of mouth and hence there was no need for marketing. Our work must speak our words and hence its rightly said: " Talk less and do more".
5. Always remain surrounded by the right people: Larry explains how he had changed his management team when his company became a billion-dollar company from the million-dollar company. Different skill sets are required to do a job in different environments. Similarly, we must also select our association very carefully.
6. Enjoy competition: We all must enjoy competition because it helps us to evolve from a lower level to a higher level. Competition keeps us at our toes and gives us the motivation to take new initiatives.
7. Be passionate: We must always remain passionate about our goals and our passion for our goals can be judged by our conviction. We may face several failures during the process but we must stand every time with great enthusiasm.
People like Larry Ellison must be our role model and we must always strive to achieve success just like him but it's not so easy and hence we must do our job very seriously and perfectly.
