Introduction
             One day a Catholic Sister is travelling from one city to the other in
             her modest car, singing as she drives along the expansive road.
             She feels the breeze of the forest wind blowing past her face and
             ruffling her hair. She looks around as the mountains disappear into
             a field of hays and  the sound of her engine changes as she
             engages a new gear. Well, she is at peace with herself and her
             life. Suddenly the engine cuts out and she realizes that she is out
             of fuel in the middle of nowhere! This has never happened to her
             before and she wonders what to do. She is not very pleased with
             herself for being so absent minded as not to check the fuel gauge.
             She remembers a petrol station not very far away from her location
             and she is relieved and hope that she may be able to bring back
             fuel from the station.
             She walks briskly to the station and the assistant asks what she
             wants and she explains her predicament of running out of fuel. The
             Assistant, being the only one in the station says he cannot go with
             her to the car but will find a container to put some fuel to get her to
             her location.
             The diligent assistant looks for container everywhere but couldn’t
             find any. As he looks around the premises, he sees an unused
             potty. He asks if sister will take the fuel in that and she agrees.
             Sister walks back  to her car with  the potty and open the fuel
             compartment. A young man driving in his expensive Jaguar slows
             down to see if the sister needs help. He sees that the sister is
             pouring something from the potty inside the car. This young man
             says to the sister with a tone of bewilderment ‘sister I really admire
             your faith’ This young  man concludes that the sister is pouring
             urine inside the car with the faith that the urine will drive the car
             instead of petrol.
             What is the point of this story? Things are not what they seem
             sometimes, our perception influences our judgement and action.

             In this book, I want you to suspend your perception just until you
             finish the book so that you may get the most out of it. Yes, it is a
             business book but it is written in such a conversational style that
             you can adapt the lessons to any area of your life. Keep an open
             mind as you read and don’t just read it once, but several times so
