This book has been a splendid
journey all through, this is a kind of book which will interest adults of all
ages, it relates with each aspect of professional and personal lives we live. It’s
an easy translation of sorts of people found in this ‘big bad world’. And a panacea
of the everyday thwarted oppugn, in most elementary way possible.
Book commences with the exemplification of persona of the
two canonic varieties of people- the good and the bad. “In the world of power,
there are broadly two kinds of people - those for whom only ends matter, and
two, the good people, for whom means are as important as the ends.” The former being called ‘vile’ and the later
are known in the book as ‘naive’.
The book is prudently divided into three parts- each of
which is a step wise way of illustrating the nuances of the way towards success.
First part delineates the ways of working of viles, the measures which are
ploughed to lay the grounds for winning any battle through treachery and
deception. This is when most of us would go- “okay that happened to me”. The author
has put in the findings of his daily life so precisely that most of us don’t decipher
as fudged in mundane settings. It just
bechances and almost all the times it is happed on fate. There are ‘n’ numbers of situations
elaborated on by Pavan Choudhary and best part is that at the end of each
lesson we find bespoken advises for naive and rulers. The anecdotes and
citations mentioned in each chapter is cherry on the cake, makes the read interesting
to levels inconceivable.
Second part of the book is the blueprint for the naive to
win through the most unmanageable scenario. As a person I am a skeptic and I only
believe in things when they work for me, and honestly the application of a few
did work for me. One can only opine on the kind of research gone into making of
this book into a masterpiece.
The third part I’d say is the most occupying and abase in
its way. Agnizing the power of the almighty, the higher power, fate as we all
say. It opens with an all-time favorite quote by Winston Churchill:
“I realized with awful force that
no exercise of my own feeble wit and strength could save me from my enemies,
and without the assistance of that high power which interferes in the eternal
sequence of causes and effects more often than we are prone to admit, I could never
succeed.”
This section
comprises of the means to fortify ones destiny, to do good and get good. The chapter
fleshes out on identifying the opportunities hidden in disguises, sharing,
sharpening the intuitions and cherishing the love and friendship.
In
essence, the relevance of How a Good Person Can Really Win extends to all walks
of life. It challenges the Machiavellian belief that a good man hasn't got a
chance in the real world and elucidates how goodness coupled with creativity
and wisdom can forge the path to an enduring victory.
