Life is what you make it

A pleasant read and a timely reminder of how we should not allow ourselves to be constrained by starting points in life. I liked the take on vocations, in particular the idea of it being a ‘field where we yearn to excel, to break out of the pack'. I thought the book was well-balanced and pragmatic in stressing the value of pursuing individual passions while acknowledging the need to find the intersection between those passions and the world of commerce. Overall an inspiring book that leaves you questioning your personal definition of success.
