'There is a ray of light at the end of every tunnel'. This is a popular saying of philosophers and motivational speakers. In his book Succeed Beyond Adversity Too, Robert L Comradd Sr. has delved into the concept of success and the paths that lead to success. This is a non-fiction book published in 2010. He has used his experiences from his childhood to adulthood to explain his points. These experiences enabled him to define his own destiny. He has attributed his success to his mother who was active in the civil right movement. He was suspended whilst in the elementary school for a fight he did not start. He was detained in second grade in the NAACP. He was dismissed from work without any reason. In 1977, he joined the military and fought in the Gulf War. It was difficult for him to find a civilian job after he had left the military. He was not paid any commission for not generating sales for a particular week as a salesperson. These and other experiences compelled him to write such an amazing book about life.
The author has stated that adversity comes in so many ways to different people. In order to survive in this world, you must have the staying power. He has further stated that our limitations are only in our minds and nothing is impossible. He has successfully established that fact that life is a constant battle and knowledge is the key to achieving greatness. People who want to protect their future must first create it.
I have been moved greatly by these words of inspiration. Apart from using his own personal experiences in proving his points, he has made references to renowned personalities such as Mr Les Brown, Dr Martin Luther King Jr. and Napoleon Hill. He has flooded this book with hundreds of inspirational messages and quotations from philosophers and motivational speakers. The contents of the book cover a wide subject area such as relationship, entrepreneurship, religion and social life. He has further indicated some signs of good and bad relationship. He has established the fact that what causes a relationship to end is not what you do, but what you stop doing. He has also made references to some quotations from the Holy Bible to prove his points.
Words and expressions are within the comprehension of an average reader. The use of literary devices is excellent. There are no spelling or grammatical errors. The title of the book is relevant to its contents. There is a table of contents to guide readers. The author has provided a simple activity at the end of the book to engage his readers. I recommend this book to all young people who are about to enter into entrepreneurship. This book can be a useful manual for religious leaders and motivational speakers.
The column I provided for the purpose of writing the limitations of this book is empty. This book is well written as there are no omissions. I recommend the author finds a suitable sponsorship for this book so that it will be beneficial to lots of people.
Robert L Comradd Sr. has done a good job. I have graded his book with a distinction. I hope he will write more of such books for the benefit of society. I, therefore, rate his book Succeed Beyond Adversity Too 4 out of 4 stars.
