Think and Grow Rich with a Cappuccino

When our manager and EVP told us that we have to read the book, Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill for an exam, our only reaction was... "For real??!" It's like going back to highschool and college but this time the stakes are bigger, your reputation and a surprise incentive for whoever department who get the highest average to the exam. To get the bigger picture of the gravity of this exam, our office became a one big library. Some people having their own private corner and reading the chapters of the book!

I remember that one time,  my manager asked me to review because she never see me reading the book ever! Hahaha Little did they know that....

This is me during weeknights after work and even weekends, at the nearest Starbucks! I don't know, I just don't think that I can review at the office that's why they don't see me read and review there. I need my full concentration and my coffee to fully grasp and understand the book.



Sneaking out in a training in Pampanga, reviewing for one of our mock exams. ^^ Yes, we do have mock exams in preparation for our big exam. We submit reviewers and take mock exams every week!

My much needed fuels!

Yes, I gave up my internet and tv hours and to sum it all up, I gave up my weekends for more than a month for reviewing this book!

After one month, it's finally over and guess what?!

What was hard to endure is sweet to recall...

I got the highest scores twice in our mock exams and to our final exam in our department! Yeah baby! :)))

What did I learn from this experience? A lot, just for the book itself, I had so many learnings for leadership, which is very important for me right now. Personally, with hardwork and persistence, nothing is impossible.

And when it comes to success, the ball is really in your hands. It's up to you whether you will learn to use it or not.
