One part of your review really stands out; "The way he details this comes across as incredibly relatable despite his high status, as his search for his next challenge and his ordinary beginning allow anyone to see themselves making it there with the proper enthusiasm and determination." You were speaking about his rise from newspaper delivery to a real estate mogul.
Perseverance; Pushing thru the burn; Not giving up. That's how you get to the top. It's like a saying I've heard, "You can have what I have, if you're willing to do what I do." (I wish I could remember where that came from.)
Thank you for your great review.

Someone to withstand the difficulty of life. I like the fact that the author likens life's trials to a burn Zone, since already a look of what he has experienced. Thank you for your review.

Surprisingly, Jorge is a huge punk fan which no one would know due to his success and high status. Jorge makes enough money to start his own punk label and starts producing albums. He was a huge supporter of the punk movement and this draws attention from the LAPD. This changes Jorge, and his feelings toward the police become irritated and he begins to challenge them which in return does not make them happy.
It is amazing what a person can achieve when they believe in themselves. This is a truly inspirational story and anyone who feels like they can't achieve something should pick this book up and give it a good read. Sometimes a little motivation and reassurance that anything is possible can go a long way. Don't give up on your dreams and don't be afraid to be the person your meant to be.

I really enjoyed the book,it has teachings and inspirations in it like the fact that the author was too open to write about even difficult and embarrassing moments he went through,there is nothing more to add to this book or anything less to remove,the book is a piece of work
