Synopsis

Now more than ever, fear and uncertainty are becoming staples of daily life. During changing times, it's easy to worry, give up, and let fear paralyze you. However, you have more control than you think you do, and how you handle adversity is your choice—the only choice that matters.
Many successful people and businesses have grown to prominence during even the worst recessions and downturns. These successful people and organizations all shared similar characteristics and took similar actions to thrive while others merely tried to survive. You can do the same.
In The Shark and the Goldfish, bestselling author Jon Gordon shares an inspiring fable about a goldfish who has always been fed, a nice shark who teaches him to find food, and a wave of change that brings them together. In the process of finding food the shark teaches the goldfish the ultimate lesson—that the difference between a full belly and an empty stomach depends solely on your faith, beliefs, and actions.
In the face of adversity, this is a simple fable that reinforces a proven truth—you can't control the events in your life. But you can control how you respond to them. You can allow the waves of change to crush you, or you can learn to ride them to a successful future. Packed with tips and strategies for thriving during tough times, The Shark and the Goldfish will have a lifelong impact.

Tôi treo quyển này hơn một năm mới đọc xong dù cuốn sách vỏn vẹn nội dung chính chưa đến 100 trang kèm rất nhiều hình ảnh minh họa. Vậy lý do vì sao lại treo lâu như thế? Vì nhạt. Và đơn giản quá. Có thể nói đây là quyển sách self-help với hình thức kể chuyện theo kiểu ngụ ngôn giữa chú cá vàng Gordy......more
