Raising himself from a troubled childhood, he set himself apart from the rest of his family to grow up and be the best version of himself.

Acknowledgement

I would like to dedicate this book to my beloved parents, and my friends for all their sacrifices and help over the years that made me the gentleman I am today. I would like to dedicate this book to all the youth struggling in all aspects of life, especially those who are desperately seeking for love and affection from their parents and also to those in search of true love for so many years, so that they may believe in the bright days ahead and learn from their troubles rather than capitulate. I would like to take this moment to thank my fiancé for her perennial confidence in me. With a strong woman like her by my side, I can forebode my empire. And lastly, my heart goes out to those influencers, coaches and mentors who make time to exhort young minds to set targets and be cognizant about one’s potential. The world needs more of you guys. Stay blessed!

Preface

Little did I know, as an infant, that my life was going to rock, albeit in a negative connotation that meant a rollercoaster of unpleasant emotions, memories and experiences that would shape my demeanours in ways I did not notice in any of the people, particularly of my age, to inherit. I knew deep down my gut that there was something peculiar about me - some sense of wisdom that many people didn't seem to possess.

Through this book, I would like to share with everybody, particularly the kids and the youth, my ideas, knowledge and understanding of the various aspects of life that will help you out with your daily struggles for love, fame, success in a way like never before. We all have a story to tell. We all have some bad memories and misfortunes to tell our close friends so they may circumvent them and lead a much better life. Considering you my friends, I take this opportunity to disclose every lesson and tricks I learnt that set me apart from others as I faced my greatest fears and misery.

Our actions are like a seed on a rough patch of land. We can either whine about falling on rough and barren terrain (a difficulty) or take it as an opportunity and grow our roots (our talent) and penetrate deep into the soil in search of water (success) and essential nutrients (purpose) and burgeon. You can change any negativity to your benefit if you have a deeper understanding of it. This book tells us all about such ideas through the story of a young lad that learnt so much in such little time, simply through contemplation.

As you read through the final chapters, kindly reflect on the key phrases and the final thoughts with your own everyday situations for comprehending the essence of this book.

The Beginning of an Era

I had my first cry in the autumns of 1992. I had a jocund, mischievous and ambitious childhood. My dad was working in the middle east and I lived with my mother and elder brother. Both were very affectionate towards me but my brother would sometimes rebuke me more than my parents as he complained that I also should get equally scolded for my mischief. He would tell how he would get beaten up as a child by belts and flip-flops and anything that was within an arm stretch. Nevertheless, he still adored me as much as my dad would do had he been at home. We would often wrestle
