It's true; there will always be obstacles and difficulties in running a business and/or company. I think the lessons in this book can be applied almost anywhere in life, even if not with a specific company. Reading this book, I see the “constraints” within the company as obstacles in my life that I need to overcome. So, just because I don't own a company, doesn't mean this read was a waste of time. It gives me the feeling that if I work hard at something, even if it's not going the way I want, I always have the ability to tweak issues to get the outcome in my favor. I will apply what I have learned in this book to my daily life. You will not be so easy to give up and reluctant to give something another try if it doesn't work the first time. When I achieve a goal, I will only think about what is next to accomplish. There's always something new to conquer, and as long as there is, I'll still be happy to try
