In my quest for personal fulfillment and professional success, I will be devoting my developmental efforts to reading some very interesting and profound books that I have stumbled upon in the past, heard of from friends and colleagues, or recommended by mentors, professors, or lecturers. As I go through the books in this list, I will share some of the quotes or excerpts of the books that I think are inspirational, ground-breaking, and worthy of sharing. Cheers!

“When dealing with people, let us remember we are not dealing with creatures of logic. We are dealing with creatures of emotion, creatures bristling with prejudices and motivated by pride and vanity”
“People rarely succeed at anything unless they have fun doing it.”
“The world is full of people who are grabbing and self-seeking. So the rare individual who unselfishly tries to serve others has an enormous advantage.”
“If out of reading this book you get just one thing– an increased tendency to think in terms of other people’s point of view, and see things from their angle– if you get that one thing out of this book, it may easily prove to be one of the building blocks of your career.”
