You have no options but to cure your own troubles yourself. This book serves exactly that purpose.

Conclusion
INTRODUCTION
Do you think successful people are someone sent from the other planets, and are blessed with in-built intellect and management capability? It’s true that everyone puts generous efforts to win the rat race, but only a few can ultimately make it to the podiums. We all leak oil, but the best ones know how to control that leakage. That’s the sole difference between an achiever and under-achiever.
Unless it’s a competition where a number of individuals are competing for the same goal, there comes different definitions of success, varying from case to case. Someone associated with sports may define success as the number of tournaments won or the records made/broken, whereas a musician would love to see the contributions made in music industry in terms of acclaimed compositions and scores. You can’t put them in the same bracket to determine who’s successful and who’s not, but when psychologists report that more than 90% of their patients from diversified backgrounds consider themselves as utter failure, there’s need for a refreshed approach to discuss over it. Some common elements of failure are there that can hurt anyone irrespective of backgrounds, and that’s exactly this book is all about.
Success and failure share an inversely proportional relationship with each other; minimization of one maximizes the other. It’s implied that you need to work on weaknesses and limitations that are preventing you from getting desired results/success. After extensive researches and studies, eventually I have figured out 31 most common reasons that invite failure. For instance, consider the situation where you are to provide some in-situ suggestions to manage accidental hazards. May be you are experienced enough, but such situations demand more of your educational knowledge than the experience. Unless you have that cognitive advantage, be prepared to welcome failure again and again.
Sad but true – in this competitive world, nothing but your performance counts at the end of the day. Hit out or get out – that’s the mantra. No one is interested about your drawbacks or
