Again and again, I found a motivational book. Strangely, sometimes motivational books are too beautiful to read but too difficult to implement. Events in a person's life seem to be enjoyable and become self-reflection. Am I able to do it? Of course, that's what always becomes my turmoil.

Good fortune always comes to anyone who wants to try. At the age of 35 now, I thought everyone wanted success, but who would have thought that a person's motivational book became a success that could be read until the end, it would be very grateful to be able to do it. Everyday busyness certainly can't make us finish reading several books in the library.

This is a book that I think is very easy to understand and every page is read very quickly. I finished reading half of this book in 3 hours, maybe because the sentences are easy to understand with good word choice. However, in my opinion, there are many things that are very naive when the author compares it with several examples of successful people in his book.

‘Kodokpun bisa jadi kerbau' or in English frogs can also become buffaloes, expresses about from zero to hero. A frog that has a small body can become a buffalo with a large and sturdy body, or even an elephant. That is a brief metaphor from this book.

Frogs can also become buffaloes is not fictional, that humans can become what they want even from the lowest level. But I think everything is not easy, that's why I said this book is a little naive here. Success is indeed difficult, but that doesn't mean it can be done by everyone and not necessarily people who try will get it.

In this book there are many ways and steps that can be taken to become someone who goes from zero to hero. Like becoming someone who understands yourself, building connections, deepening your abilities and several other tips.

The author is very capable of making us carried away in prose and words that make us more confident that success is in front of our eyes. This book can be a foundation for anyone who wants to achieve success, although I think the content is not very complete with other more expert tips, but it's good to read this book.

Equipped with an attractive cover in black and also a picture of an incredibly tough buffalo, even at first I thought this was a book discussing livestock, I didn't think it was a motivational book and success tips. But it should be replaced with a more pleasant cover.

Hear me out, if you started reading it thinking it was a livestock book I take my hat off to you hahahaha.

I almost never read self-help books, many of them sell us the key to success but you are very right when mentioning that naive aspect in them, which I would rather define as misleading. However, I like what you say about the reflective aspect that makes you think about the everyday, for books like this to help us become more aware of ourselves is great.

It is too naive if we seek success from a self-development book or a book of success. But believe me, there are interesting things that we can get from this type of book.

It is true that many self-help books can be inspiring, but sometimes the implementation of such advice can be complicated in real life. Sometimes, even if it's not the ultimate manual, any guide that inspires action can be valuable. And yes, a more attractive cover design might attract more readers. thanks for sharing your thoughts!
