The individuals had to suffer in toxic environments, however they did not give up on there mission. This is a must read for today, the times we live in have a lot of distractions. The work place dominates our lives and we marketed to not follow our desires instead of what others are doing. Family, friends and people who think they know what life is, are trying to control your mind, we are programmed We Can’t. Constantly being repressed and fall into addictions. Robert Greene is my universal master who has taught me the rules on how concentrate, he uses histories greatest who done amazing things. This is powerful book to read and to use has a resource to become successful in your field. I would also like recommend the following films which will help you see mastery: The Next Karate Kid, Hillary Swank, Cocktail, Tom Cruise, Saturday Night Fever, John Travolta, The Pursuit of Happiness, Will Smith. These characters went through challenges but they never gave up there true purpose.
