The story that you shared with us is quite a good one obviously everyone would like it and the points you shared are really good. But there is one thing that i really want to share is that one must learn how to make choices and then never look back for instance. This successful man made the choice but did not overlook the after effects. One should know and be practical about the choices that he or she makes and must accept that you cannot get everything you want, for a choice that is made. Hi Rajesh..!

While I agree to the extent that just because the path one trod is ridden with problems, one cannot suggest/advice that the alternate one would be less so, or lead to the same destination, I believe there is still a role for some lessons to be shared from one's hardship - that others can hopefully avoid. I published a blog recently based on something an influential online entrepreneur did - and that I know, from painful personal experience, would be harmful to anyone else trying to do it. And to that extent, the advice I shared is likely useful... because both cost and benefit are spelled out, leaving the reader to decide if the price is worth paying.

I am striving to read a book a week, but your post has inspired me to step up my efforts. Keep up the good work with the blog Rajesh. Anthony PS: At 2 books a week, I hope you get around to reading mine soon!

I have had problems with only a few books but when these books get popular, I get worried. Ultimately it boils down to whether you can see the advice being 'relevant' to your specific case. Thanks again. Best, Raj Hi Aditya,

I agree with your points. I have had problems with only a few books but when these books get popular, I get worried.

Ultimately it boils down to whether you can see the advice being ‘relevant’ to your specific case.

Thanks again.

Best,
Raj

Based on my reading experience, not all books talk about "Travel another path" thing. Rather they talk more about "Travel the same path which I traveled, but with these "smart how to" tips and tricks for better results!". I personally found that these books are more about doing the same thing efficiently. Also, about providing proof points, I have observed that most of the authors refer to other authors for proof points. Its just that someone has already proved one concept, and we are referring to that concept instead of re-inventing the wheel. Isn't it then reasonable to provide some proof points based on other's experiences than to provide based on only personal experiences? Thanks, Aditya Well said Rajesh,
