Bill Ransic advises the reader on lessons about vision, execution, and success. Among these lessons, success is the outcome of all the lessons put together.

According to the text, to achieve success, you must think things through, take inventory, fit yourself in, give something back, have balance, understand your core purpose, and draw a personal building plan. Over the weekend, I have been contemplating about success through giving back. Rancic involved himself at the Mercy Home for Boys in Chicago. I can relate with Rancic words in how, " it is only in the returning the favor that we can fully appreciate the favors that have been visited on us." I deeply understand this conception of giving and then appreciating what you have. In life, you stand somewhere among the ladder of success, whether it be money, social status, or power, it could be anything and whatever you perceive it to be, and in this viewpoint whether you are at the top, bottom, or middle, happiness is truly what one really desires. How do you generate this feeling of pure bliss? Sure, material possessions are a great way to instantaneously fill up empty feelings, but it is only temporary happiness-similarly to fake happiness. What you want is something real, something pure. I have visited my sick grandparents this summer, and in giving my time through assisting and caring for them at the nursing home in Virginia, I have experienced this realization and conclusion that, what you may consider not “good” enough, others, would be entirely grateful for. It saddens me to actually have to experience to get the total message and feeling across that we, humans in general, do not take what we have for granted. Sometimes, individuals never discover bliss, because they have not given any or enough effort to find the value and appreciation of what is theirs.
