… To You, My Dear Readers!
his is not another book on self-development. It is anexclusive resource book on Life Skills devised from about20 years of research on several thousands of people of allprofessions.
Undoubtedly, to become an achiever, one needs topossess the ‘WILL’! Thousands of books are written tomotivate people to aspire with ‘WILL’. But unfortunately,‘will’ alone will not be able to make anyone an achieverwithout the know-how to pursue it. And that is, the SKILL!Very few are blessed with these skills as inborn abilities.However, in my experience as a trainer and counsellor forseveral thousands of people of all professions, I had beenable to help them acquire extraordinary skills and excelin their endeavours. Even an ordinary person couldbecome extraordinary through these unique life skills.
Fortunately, all these skills are very practical, simpleand down-to-earth. At the same time, every skill isscientific and very effective. Whether you areoutstanding or mediocre, when you use these skills, you
T
will be able to execute your work more effectively, moreso, effortlessly.
When you read it, you will find every page in this bookinvaluable. Overall, the book consists of 101 wonderfullife skills. I have made sure to present every aspect andskill in simple English so that all readers can grasp theconcepts easily. While reading the book, you will surelyfeel as though I am directly talking to you. Further, forbetter registration of the message, often I have presentednumbers in figures rather than in words.
In life, the more we wish to penetrate to be anachiever, the greater the problems we face. But, ‘the bestway to escape from a problem, is to solve it.’And, a progress-minded person converts the problem intoa challenge and plunges to prove his mettle. That is whythis book should be in your possession for your lifetime,to seek timely guidance.

How to Excel in Life!
Excellence in life is an art. He who excels knows theart of living. He enjoys his life while pursuing his goalsand facing challenges. Every moment, he not only knowswhat to do, but also knows how to do!
But unfortunately, majority of the people slog and toilfor 15-16 hours a day in pursuit of their goals, but stillfail to accomplish them, not knowing the know-how. Theymay be very passionate at their goals and work hard, butthe society rates them 'mediocre' based on theirachievements.
This is where books on self-development andself-empowerment become less effective. No doubt, theycan motivate even a lazy and aimless person to crave toachieve something remarkable in life. But then, the nextcrucial step ___ 'how?' is left to his fate. Hence, notknowing the right direction, he often pursues difficult andimpractical paths and ends up dejected and depressedleading to the withdrawal from the very process. We aresurrounded by such people innumerably.
How to Excel in Life Effortlessly?Here is the secret of making it to the top effortlessly. Itsaves a lot of time and energy too. And, that is the one andonly wonderful way to work – working with SKILLS! Veryoften, what seems to be almost impossible for years canbe made just possible in a day!
