Ten Commandments of Success: Excerpts for " I Bought the Monk's Ferrari by Ravi Subramanium"

Aspire High- To aquire the Ferrari you need to ASPIRE. And when you aspire do not compromise for anything but the best.

You Can Fly

With all the colors in the sky.

You can soar

Don't think about your troubles anymore!

You can glide,

and forget about why

you can'd do this or that.

You can dream!

Though life may seem so hard sometimes,

Get on with your life

and just fly!



Stay Positive: Be optimistic; chase the negative thoughts away. A positive frame of mind will surely get you closer to Ferrari.



Be a winner, not a wimp: Do not whine and whimper about work-life balance. Be the winner, not the wimp, and the Ferrari will be yours.

The heights of great men reached and kept,

were not obtained by sudden flights,

But they, while their companions slept

were toiling upwards in the night.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow



Be Honest to Yourself: Set and follow the highest standard of integrity in your personal and professional lives. If you are high on integrity, people will respect and value you.



Value Time: Value your own time and that of others, and be rest assured that the Ferrari will come to you.

To get all there is out of living, we must employ our time wisely, never being in too much of a hurry to stop and sip life, but never losing our sense of the enormous value of a minute.



Strive for Perfection: No one is perfect. The moment you think you are, it is the countdown to doomsday. Earning Ferrari is all about constantly upgrading yourself, improving your skillsets and equipping yourself for the future. And for this the initiative has to be yours.



Befriend Achievers: Identify the owners of Ferrari and align yourself with them. Ifb you are in the company of successful people, their success will rub off on you. But you need to back it up with stellar performance. If you live in Ferrari town, chances are, you will get to drive one sooner.



Share the success: Share your success with others. If you commit to uplift the downtrodden, you will become the true owner of Ferrari.



Watch Out on Health: Remain fighting fit and be in perfect shape. No one will entrust you with the Ferrari if you are not fit enough to drive it. Work Hard, exercise harder, build stamina, and keep illness at bay. This is a sure shot way of getting into the driver's seat.



Build a Mind Boggling Profile: If you have followed all the commandments with dedication and determination, it is the time to build up a profile for yourself. Target your audience and announce your achievements. You will own the Ferrari in no time.
