      BIBLIOGRAPHY

      FOREWORD

      I HAVE KNOWN JONAH KERICH for the past three years and had the chance to interact with him closely as he put this book together. I am impressed by his determination to share his experiences and insights in order to help others lead more meaningful, more successful and more fulfilling lives. Many people never realise their purpose nor their potential; they merely get by because they are ignorant or unwilling to exert themselves. The fact is: if we are to make an impact in this life, we must be focused and resist the temptation to procrastinate. Success is not an accidental phenomenon. Rather, it comes as a result of hard work, careful planning, and clear thinking.

      Kerich’s experiences lessons can help the reader avoid pitfalls that impede success. After all, a wise person learns from the experiences of others. Following Kerich’s sound advice could transform your life.

      Finally, Kerich urges us not to despair even when odds seem overwhelming. Persistence is a virtue and those who practise it reap the benefits. Doubt, negative thinking, complacency, and mediocrity must be rejected.

      I recommend this book without reservation.

      PREFACE

      MY OLD TIME FRIEND, LENNY, lost his father when he was barely five years old. His father was a tycoon; a prosperous businessman who imported classy cars from Germany. Lenny’s siblings lived big: posh life, international schools, and foreign vacations. After his father’s death, Lenny’s life took a different turn.

      His father’s friends and family members who visited and socialised with them when his father was alive abandoned them. Some relatives grabbed his father’s property. His mother could no longer support them with her meagre teacher’s salary because the family had bad debts. They moved to a smaller house, and she struggled to pay their school fees.

      Lenny had a choice to make: either to work harder and restore his family’s lost glory or give up in life.

      He was always top of the class, now a sixth - year student at the University of Nairobi pursuing Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery.

      Millions of people are held captive by the Monster Fear. They are tense; incapacitated by inferiority complex. They believe that others but not them are predisposed to greatness. They end up feeling they are an afterthought of creation hence, they are on the downfall track.

      Some people are born with a silver spoon. Others don’t have access to the spoon and wonder if they will ever make it in life or overcome their seemingly deplorable life.

      Writing this book (in a period of close to two years) has been a nice experience for me to share my opinions towards life. It was a critical moment in which I was almost giving up but I made a decision that became a turning point in my life, although to many it seemed like a stupid option I want to give someone else who might have undergone similar experiences as Lenny hope to see that they can break through in life if they remain bold.

      When writing this book, I got an insight that there will come a time in your
