This book is written as the first of many baby steps we may undertake to bring that giant leap in our career. Career and success are two such words that can have different meanings and understandings one wishes to have. So, when I make a humble effort to put these two words together and explain my thought on each of them individually or in a combined way, at many points, you may disagree. All such disagreements are accepted and encouraged. However, those disagreements must open channels for dialogue on career-related topics. My intention here is to start a discussion from that disagreement. This book is not a conclusion craved in rock but a starting point for future talks on career and related successes.
If you are to observe the presentation style, though the book is about you and your career, there is a good chance of you noticing most of the explanation done metaphorically equating to a journey. There is a reason for that. As you will read in the introduction part of this book, my good understanding of a career is a journey we undertake to add/subtract value, knowledge, skill, and experience. There will be in-between stops; we call results and objectives, but these intermediate milestones are temporary seats. They are not the only reason we undertake career expeditions; the process of undergoing the journey is equally vital.
Since I love and revere words and lines, you will find this book graphical, illustration-oriented, and a bit cartoonish.
