The first one is the life we actually live; the second is the imagined life where we achieve all the success we dream about. Some build a bridge between these two lives.
The Excellence Habit is biography of an idea, and the idea is simple. The main source of success is excellence, and excellence depends more on our internal circumstances. Grit, determination, and the discipline to put in the hard work as a matter of habit, and not a matter of need, are crucial.”
~ from The Excellence Habit
"What Vlad calls the "excellence habit" may seem an easy change of attitude but is in fact a lifelong process. Some people are born with this gift but most can acquire it at any stage of their lives and following previous failures. This is the attitude and habit of those who are smart and brave enough to strive for the best and truly desire a fulfilling life.”

"What a great book! I love Amy Cuddy's story about overcoming obstacles and never giving up. What gets me motivated is reading about what someone went through to overcome tough times. There are some amazing examples. This book stays in my Kindle!”
