Mention the name Trump and it's very clear there's only one. Mention the name Trump, there's full of controversies and opinions about him. I think many people know Donald for very different reasons and have a certain like or dislike about him. From bankruptcies, real estate, The Apprentice to running for President. For me, it doesn't matter as long as I learn something from someone who is willing to tell his story.
I have learned so much watching The Apprentice and it was absolutely helpful for me while trying to kick start my career. It prepared me for so many possibilities and pitfalls which gave me the advantage of understanding how to handle difficult situations. I just read this book and I found many quotes from his book to be very inspiring and motivating. Reading never ends and I often find that I could so easily forget what I previously read. Plus, in order to read the next book, I find it almost too difficult to re-read a book. I've re-read this book and here some are quotes I found to be really good.

I think the stories and recipes for success have not changed much ever before. The people who make changes and go the extra mile are unsurprisingly going to lead the way in the present and future. "See problems as opportunities" is probably one of my favourite quotes in the book. Problems gives us the opportunities to learn and move forward. In my year book awhile back, my quote is to"Never give up in life". It also made me remember the story of "Three Feet From Gold", where the hopeful miners gave up when they were in fact just three feet from gold. It really can be that close. Keep going and you might not believe what you can achieve.
