成功不怕晚。
The most interesting section was the '40' factor chapter. Interesting examples of people who have taken time to be a success. However, I found aspects of the book somewhat repetitive and the final chapters a bit of a slog. That being said, it was an interesting perspective of success.
I want to read now.
Successful people, writes Tom Butler-Bowden, persevere, but they combine perseverance with experimentation until they find what works for them.Butler-Bowden makes two key points: 1) Things often take longer to achieve than you expect; and 2) You're living longer than your ancestors (indeed, if you can get through the next 20-25 years, your lifespan will increase another 50 years – perhaps indefinitely). These two things take the pressure off the need to succeed in your youth. Instead you take wh...
Good self help or business help books are those with key points, that are also cross cultural Meaning they are helpful no matter what walk of life you are from.This book does not do that, it is written from a Westernized privilege educated man's perspective. There are a million quotes and stories about European men , most I've never heard of or plants from a country side I've never seen. There is a entire chapter about how everyone is going to live to their 90' s because of modern technology. Al...
It's truly inspirational and I'd highly recommend this book to person in their mid 30's and still struggling in life and folks in their 50's or above as well. This book teaches you that things often take longer than we expect to achieve but thanks to the medical advancement we are living longer, healthier lives and today we really do have the time. So start out, keep doing what you are doing but never give up just because you are too old cause it's never too late to be great.Some lines from this...
A nice book if you want to be inspired by people who started to be noticed late in life. Some of the stories are actually quite amazing. But since the book is almost all stories and no reflection it gets boring after a while.
So as I've said in previous reviews, I'm currently making my way through books that I've found at the back of my bookshelf that I said I'd reviews years ago - literally years ago. I received Never Too Late To Be Great back in 2012 as part of the Goodreads First Reads programme but I've been putting it off because I was the greatest fan of non-fiction back then and I thought this book looked dull and uninteresting. How wrong was I! Never Too Late To Be Great has actually proved to be pretty inspi...
It's a good one time read.There are some good stories and examples but I was a bit disappointed by the way author went after Gladwell.But overall message of the book is a nice one.
An instant pick-me-up (and I needed it!) this book inspired me, and I'll tattoo its message into my brain. Rome wasn't built in a day, and it wasn't meant to be. Packed with stories of people slowly "ripening" over time to achieve their life's purpose, the message of the book is especially valuable when most of the stories we see celebrate what seem to be overnight successes. Some of these people change track(s), others plug away for years at thankless tasks - to slowly reach fruitition. All of
Never Too Late to Be Great presents a positive perspective on time (we have more of it than we think to fulfill our goals) along with many examples of people who achieved greatness through “slow cooked success.” Be sure to read each story; otherwise, you may miss the useful nuggets that pop up in between. While some of the highlighted late bloomers are well-known, Tom presents details about their paths to success that I hadn’t read before. An uplifting and potentially life-changing book for tho...
Excellent book full of great examples that will the calm the anxious you down. You will not get frustrated when you don't finish your to do list. You won't make up impossible schedules. You will be patient and do one small thing at a time. The power of thinking long is insanely useful to lead a good life in these instant gratification world.
This book was such a refreshing read from many other motivational/self-help books that don't factor time into the success equation at all. I think I will read this book many times over so the messages sink in. Highly recommended for those of us who fear it is too late to make our mark or become great.
This book changed my way of thinking. Not only was it interesting to learn about the small beginnings of successful individuals and corporations, it also was encouraging, as the key message was, to me, to use time to achieve something rather than fearing the passage of time and comparing yourself to others. Overall, a very useful and encouraging read.
Very good book! The stories included are all inspiring and helpful, showing that we do really have more time than we think. I would recommend it to anyone, finding themselves in a 'hole' right now.
I love this book!
Nice book with a different perspective of looking at life and its progress. Will surely recommend for a single read :)
