An inspiring read: an autobiographical account of determination and success
• Insights: Survival of the fittest. It is not only true metaphorically but also literally. This autobiographical account taking cues from the author's personal life is about domesticating all struggles and emerging as a winner in the race of life. A family's life uprooted by mobsters in India, young Ankit moves to the US with just $5 and then finds his way to become a successful professional in one of the best companies in the world. It is a memoir, a story of a winner, of values and cultures in the midst of the hardest of adversities. Makes for a wonderful motivational read, especially for young professionals struggling to make a mark in the corporate world.• REVIEW: The story is an extraordinary tale of adrenaline and grit- relevant to contemporary times. It introduces the author Ankit Gupta with a bang- his writing style and narration is extremely hopeful, positive and relates to every young engineer looking to make global careers. A lot of engineers from India move abroad to make their careers in international companies, their initial struggles and tough times are usually overlooked by society. It is only the success that people remember, they fail to identify the battles behind. Grit is a fine tale of such a boy, who finds his identity and footing in the most difficult circumstances in the midst of a foreign land.• STRENGTH: -Storytelling seems closer to reality, it is the story of every corporate survivorThe language is easy to comprehendIs available in an attractive hardbound cover- best for your library collections• Drawbacks:It is a lengthy read, one needs to be able to relate to Ankit to finish the book in its entirety• TARGET READERS: Fiction lovers/Aspirational engineers/ Indian professionals moving overseas• AGE GROUP: Young Adults• GENRE: Contemporary autobiographical fiction• RATING: 4.3/5

Sooo good ❤️
The media could not be loaded. Such a heart - wrenching story 🙂. This story is not revolved around a single person . For me it revolves around the whole family . A family who suffer alot in their life . A family who stand with each other in their hard time.Although it's a autobiography of and by @ankit.p.guptaThe story which may inspire you , motivates you to fight which may realise you that hardwork will always give fruits to you . The story of hardwork beats hardluck. For me it's an amazing read . Although , the story is normal but gives you a number of lessons.Some part of the story is so ...like what i say that incident of burning of books , photographs like..when you thrown out of the house in mid- nights .. It's so painful.The incident when your hardwork goes in vain. All of us may be relatable at some point to it. Because we all suffer academically as well as financially. When you don't have computer and your work related to it. When you don't get scholarship and you already suffer financially. This story is quite captivating. Tells you what is the meaning of struggle .Meet number of people in the story . Get enough knowledge related to engineering field .Brilliant presentation . Language is quite lucid , full of emotions , portrayed a positivity while reading . Give the essence of hardwork . Tells you the importance of family ,especially Parents ❤️.Overall its a great read for me as i love to read non - fiction more . Non- fiction of this genre met you to reality . Gave you the power to face . And when it comes from the person who struggle alot to achieve great things. While reading , i illustrate the whole picture of the book. Sooo so good. I Loved it and definitely RECOMMENDED ❣️.COVER :- beautiful blue book 📚 BLAZE TO THE BEAT OF YOUR HEARTEMBRACE THE COMPASS TO A HIGHER PATHFLOW THROUGH THE FIRE OF FEARCRAVE YOUR PATH THROUGH MOUNTAINS LIKE A GENTLE RIVER.RISE EVERYTIME YOU FALL, MY FRIENDTO REVEAL YOUR BETTER SELF AT THE OTHER END. ❤️❤️ Happy reading ❤️❤️

Interesting read
GRIT is about survival, being prepared for the worst times. This memoir describes the life of a kid from growing up as a happy kid to the one hit by a trauma of his father loosing job, zero savings and living in a single room apartment. This journey of his life is intriguing, interesting and on point. However this feels like a forever read, although at times this feels like a nerve striking story which could inspire you or break you.But definitely at the end if you sit to retrospect into the story one thing you must considering remembering is 'be prepared'. The story line is relatable and experience the grief he went through. The narrative style reminisces the life experiences flashing on with simple yet subtle language
