More Description"A great fortune depends on luck; a smaller one on diligence." --Chinese proverb Ambition and the desire to succeed are at the cornerstone of every achievement in life. For most of us, the desire to pursue something later in life can trace its roots as far back as our childhood. As we grow older, that same aspiration may subsist, or it may subside. When we are able to maintain it alive, nature can conspire in our favor to make our dream become a reality.In this book, the author has shared a journey that spans 23 chapters. When a person is determined to attain a goal, how far is he or she willing to go in his or her endeavors? The book begins with an introduction to the author's ancestral land in a small country on the bay of the Gulf of Guinea. He has seized the opportunity to share some very interesting as well as jaw-dropping anecdotes about his upbringing there. He segued smoothly into his life in the United States, where his quest for success has led him to test his own endurance, both in breadth and depth, in the face of the challenges that were laid before him.In the two penultimate chapters, he has shared by his very own assessment, the most emotionally grueling and trying moment in his life. The lessons learned from that ordeal have made him a better and more aware man with regard to relationships, mental illnesses, and also gratitude in life.Finally, he has shared his views about the social and political current state of affairs in the United States. Analyzing things from an independent's perspective, he has given an unbiased opinion and urged his fellow citizens to stay vigilant and humble and not to take for granted the peace and stability that have made the US arguably the beacon that it is.
