Review on book – “You Can Win” | Monica’s Archives


“You Can Win” is a motivational book written by Shiv Khera. This book was recommended to me by my father, who is a management consultant. I am glad I read the book as it has changed me quite a lot. I have started looking at everything in a positive way, which helped me personally and also in my profession. The book is divided in 8 chapters which focuses on building a positive attitude, winning strategies, motivating yourself and others every day, building positive self-esteem and image, building a pleasing personality, forming positive habits and character, setting and achieving your goals and doing the right thing for the right reason. The book provides a great learning experience for those who want to achieve success and positivity in their life. Main attractions are short stories from our everyday life which can empower anyone. I got involved in them as if it all happened with me and helped me to understand more clearly the situations we face in our life.



The author has made great efforts to provide the readers with the right values and vision for achieving success. The author emphasizes on the fact that being a successful person is not enough. Being a good human being is equally important. Attitude is the most important part of life which shapes our lives. To be successful in any field, attitude plays 85% and others 15%.  The book helps the readers to remove the hurdles that block the path to success and teaches how to handle all the situations which you face in life. Many things we know but realize when someone says it in a positive way. Like one of the points which I remember is: Winners see the gain. Losers see the pain. Winners see possibilities, losers see problems. Winners say,” I will do something”. Losers say,” Something must be done”. Winners say,” It may be difficult but it is possible”. Losers say,” It may be possible but it is TOO difficult”. Winners see an answer for every problem while losers see problem for every answer.
 It is a must read for adults as well as adolescents who are in important phase of life: to learn about basic principles of success. Definitely there will be a change in your life after reading the book. It will shake you from inside; you’ll find that each and every line is defining you or your situations. The concept of this book is so nice that it attracts the readers to read ahead and ahead. The language used by the author is simple and flowing. The print quality is excellent which adds to the joy of reading. This book comes in 16 languages. Last but not the least, I will always remember the punch line “Winners don’t do different things, they do the things differently”.

Managing Diabetes

Diabetes affects almost all parts of the body. It leads to the starvation of cells throughout the body. In addition, the blood that contains high levels of sugar goes to all parts of the body, so any part that is sensitive to high blood sugar is affected. High blood sugar can result in damage to the large and small blood vessels, nerve damage and can increase risk of infections. In the long run, not controlling diabetes can damage important organs, like the heart, kidneys, eyes and nerves which can lead to heart disease,   brain stroke, gangrene and leg amputation, eye bleeding, blindness, kidney damage, difficulty in bladder control, infections like pneumonia, skin infections etc. It is necessary to keep your blood sugar in control. Family support is crucial for managing chronic conditions but it is often overlooked.  Diabetic needs support from family members, mostly from their spouses and children.

Personality Development

The personality of an individual is judged by his/her appearance, behavior, attitude, education, values and some more varying features. Personality development is often confused with enhancing your dressing sense and having command over English language. A person who dresses well and speaks fluent English isn’t necessarily supposed to have a good personality. Personality development is an all round development. Jack Canifield has rightly said, “If you keep doing what you have always done, you’ll keep getting what you’ve always got.” Acknowledging and facing your fear may actually mean a better chance of survival. It is always an opportunity to grow, learn and improve your confidence and success. Think of your fears as a challenge to be overcome, or a problem to be solved. Personality development grooms an individual, reduces stress and conflicts, develop a positive attitude in life. It means enhancing and grooming one’s outer and inner self to bring about a positive change to

Healthy Lifestyle

Today, everyone knows that to be healthy we should lead a healthy lifestyle. But at times, we get confused about what is healthy lifestyle. The way we are living is our lifestyle. Now, how can we make it healthy? People in our society can be categorized like bachelors/single women, married men, married working women, homemakers etc. who may need to think to bring some changes in their lifestyle. Working bachelors can be either staying at home with their family( parents and siblings) or have to shift to other city and are staying with friends or in hostel/ PG. Healthy lifestyle broadly can be classified in four steps: 1) Eat healthy 2) Exercise regularly 3) Reduce stress 4) Drink plenty of water The key is to be consistent. Whatever changes you bring to your lifestyle should be exercised regularly. It may seem difficult at first, but please make a start. Like first you may be able to do it twice or thrice in a week. Let it be. We cannot expect to change our lives in a day.
