The
Seven Habits of Highly Effective People
by Stephen Covey
Publication date: 2004
Format: paperback
ISBN-13: 978-0-7432-6951-3
These habits really taught me some structure and organisation
in my work life. It took me years to see the old and the
young lady and how it has helped me to see both sides
of the coin. It has become important to me to be end-minded.
Next on my list is definitely the 8th Habit.

There is truth in doing the small daily steps to achieve
success in life. Jack really gives excellent guidance
in one's daily work life, but life in general too. However,
one needs to persevere in life to achieve one's goals.
More of Jack is definitely next on my list.

The
Power of Positive Thinking
by Norman Vincent Peale
Publication date: 1996
Format: paperback
ISBN-13: 978-0449911471
It is just a mind shift that is needed. It really works
and helps a huge amount in one's life if one can make
that small adjustment in one's mind. I think it must
become a lifestyle rather than just a habit. Reading
more of Norman’s books can only help in becoming
more positive in one's
outlook of life.

Great
Trilogy
by Og Mandino
Publication date: 2002
Format: hardcover
ISBN-13: 978-0883910344
It is what it says – great! The trilogy helped me
to become more disciplined in my work life, to keep at
it until completion. Og also teaches us to produce a quality
product in everything that we do, to always go the extra
mile. In Og’s own words, if he can do it, all of
us can do it. You’ll understand when you read his
life story.

Busy
with Your Best Life Now - 7 Steps to Living at Your Full
Potential
by Joel Osteen
Publication date: 2004
Format: hardcover
ISBN-13: 978-0446532754
So inspiring and motivational. If we all can just believe
that God wants to bless us and that His favour is on our
lives. We just need to make the mind shift consistently.
In other words, it needs to become a lifestyle of believing,
not just a once off thing.
