Priyanka describes her mother as the woman she always aspired to become because it was her mother who taught her she could be anything and everything she wanted to. Early in life, she learned one must have large goals, big dreams and work hard to achieve them. She gives the example of seeing her name on a billboard for the first time at the age of 18 and thinking that that’s how she wanted to see her name every time. After two decades of perseverance, she made those dreams come true.
We can all take heart from this example and set the dials of our ambition on "large" rather than merely "achievable." If you dream big dreams and persevere, you are likely to succeed in the end.
Through the stories of her life, the actor gives us many points to think about and draw parallels at work. More often than not, we carry the baggage of our past when we move from one role or organization to another. Feeling low on confidence and motivation to achieve goals are also common pain points at work. This easy-to-read book and its lessons, when applied at work, can help you emerge stronger through these situations, besides being hugely inspirational at an overall level.
