Success is not measured by our position in life, but by the obstacles we overcame to get there and how many times we bounced back when we fell. What kept me hooked to this book is the author’s straightforward writing style and his ability to make us understand complicated things through real-life stories like the one I mentioned above. This book had a great impact on my life. I am sure that it will have a positive impact on your life too.

লজ্জা শরমের মাথা খেয়েই বলতে হয়, যে এককালে এই ‘তুমিও জিতবে’ পড়ে বেশ উপকৃত হয়েছি। তখন নতুন ঢাকায় এসেছি। বুয়েটের প্রথম বর্ষ। আশেপাশে সবাই দারুণ স্মার্ট। ওদিকে আমি জীবনে দু-পাতা অংক বিজ্ঞান ছাড়া তেমন কিছুই শিখিনি। স্যোশাল স্কিল জিরোর কোটায়। কারো সাথে মিশতে পারি না। একা একা কোনা-কানাচে পড়ে থাকি। এইসময় নীলক্ষেতে পেয়ে গেলাম এই বই। শিব খেরার তুমিও জিতবে। ব্যাস লজ্জা শরমের মাথা খেয়ে কিনে ফেললাম। সেলফ-হেল্প টাইপ বইগুলো কেন যেন আমাদের সমাজে এখনও ট্যাবো। তার উপর এই বই কেনার অর্থ হলো নিজেকে লুজার হিসাবে স্বীকার করে নেওয়া। যেন শিব খেরার কাছ থেকে ‘প্যাট্রোনাইজেশন’ চাইছি। কিন্তু তাতে কি। সে সময় আমি এক রকম ইনট্রোভার্টেড লুজারই। এ প্রসঙ্গে বলে রাখি, ইনট্রোভার্ট দুই রকম হয়। এক দল একা একা থাকে, আর তেমন একা থাকতেই পছন্দ করে। এরা হলো হ্যাপি ইনট্রোভার্ট। আরেকদল, স্যোশালি অকওয়ার্ড বলে কারো সাথে মিশতে পারে না। মনে হয়ত ইচ্ছেটা আছেই। এরা হলো আনহ্যাপি ইনট্রোভার্ট। বুয়েটে এসে, খেয়াল করলাম আমি হ্যাপি ইনট্রোভার্ট থেকে আনহ্যাপি ইনট্রোভার্টে পরিণত হয়েছি। হলভর্তি অসাম পুলাপাইন কিন্তু আমি পড়েছি অথৈ সাগরে। সে সময় এই বইটা কাজে লেগেছে। সেদিন কী ভেবে নেট থেকে আবার ডাউনলোড করলাম। উলটে পালটে কিছু জিনিস চোখে পড়ল যেগুলো এখন হাস্যকর মনে হচ্ছে। কিন্তু সব মিলিয়ে ভালোই তো! সেই পুরাতন কৃতজ্ঞতা স্বরূপ ৫ তারা।

This book was released at Crossroads mall (shut long time back) in mumbai, and I got the first edition copy (as it was widely displayed) and they had lots of copies, I flipped a few pages and randomly read one page and was carried with the simple lucid language very beautifully explained little lessons of life, it doesn't teach you anything different that you don't know, but it just gives examples of various life episodes real and hypothetical and makes his message clear, that is where the self realization takes place and the change for the better occurs, this was the only book of Shiv Khera that made it really big (his other books are ok!! sorts) but I would highly recommend this bestseller for every home, no wonder, it has been translated in many languages due to it's popularity and the first copy still lies on the top of my bookshelf as a reference tool or a quick lesson for life.
Buy it, if you haven't.

"Success is 90% failure."
Some people believe that success is the other word for the destination; they believe that if you reach your dreams, you will be successful; nevertheless, this is simply the definition of success for those who want to become millionaires.
Success, according to the book, is a journey rather than a destination. It is the voyage of your willpower. It is your willpower's journey. It is the trip of your self-belief, or to put it another way, success is the path of your dream till it comes true.
The intensity of your desire, more specifically burning desire, determines the size of your success. Failure allows you to learn and serves as fuel for your burning drive, thus success does not imply the absence of failure.

You can win has surely been a book that has had an incredible sales record. It is one among the most popular among the Indian self help book category. What the book contains is a couple of motivational quotes and stories which have been gathered here. The book has nothing new to offer its readers other than a couple of stale stories. But if you are new to reading and are looking for a simple self help book that could be easily understood, you can pick this up.

the book "U CAN WIN" is truly a lovely book ,in which whole secrets to have & live a happy life is defined.. I really loves the stories....because they provide us a new way of thinking ...about...
In one sense, this book is a construction manual. It describes the tools you will need for success, and offers blueprints to help you build a successful and rewarding life. In a second, sense, it is a cookbook. It lists the ingredients the principles you will need to follow to become successful and gives you the recipe for mixing them in the correct proportions. But, above all, this is a guidebook a step by step, how to book that will take you from dreaming about success to unlocking your potential for success

Nice mix of inspirational quotes and stories. I read it when I was in high school and motivated me through a tough challenge. What I have learnt from this book has so much become a part of me today, that I can't benefit from the book the same way if I were to read it again, but I definitely suggest others to give it a try at least once. It did the right magic at the right time for me.

It's good self motivational book. But too idealistic I would say, not that applicable in life. But you can read it one time.

Well written book on Personality Development. Simplicity and relevance are the two main factors that make this book to stand out among other Personality Development books. The author had uncanny talent to mix the content with lot of stories and quotes so that the message does not go over the head. Mr. Shiv Khera makes an impact in the very first chapter itself with a story of a balloon seller on “Attitude”, from there on you will be hooked to the book. More and more traits were explained in simple terms with relevant and important anecdotes that make you imbibe the message with ease on an otherwise dry subject. For sure this book builds confidence on those who reads it.
A must read for everyone who wants to aspire, especially youngsters.

Bullshit blah blah. Typical feel-good nonsense which makes sense unless you start to analyse socio-political reality and realise that these gurus are just wasting your time and money with their cleverly crafted but empty words.

Good content to read for the achievers & people who want to reach out to their dreams., many things are practically explained very well with many examples.

I came to love this book after reading the first chapter. :D
It teaches me and/or correct my wrong doings and tells me what I should do.
"the person who never does anything makes no mistakes. However, he doesn't realize that not doing anything is his biggest mistake" --- that quote from this book, You Can Win: A Step by Step Tool for Top Achievers makes me realize my biggest mistake in my whole life. Shiv Khera inspires me to do the things i can, want, and should do; while keeping in mind that "people fail not because they lack knowledge/talent but because they quit and Societies are not destroyed by the activities of rascals but by the inactivities of good people"
Now, I should live while i'm still alive cuz i don't want to die before i'm dead. XD -->>>

i still remember it was summer of 8th when i went to buy a GK book there i saw this book and i was like are you nuts? how can everyone become sucessful; what the rest will do then ? (obviously, i was immature) but then i thought instead of reading GK book lets try this one, Shiv khera is the real teacher who understand his student completely; by giving examples as in stories helps u alot to develop urself as well as to make a blueprint towards achieving goal..:)

Awesome book. And its not about business, or deals or work. It's about life. And made up of small quotes. Quotes and examples that touch you everyday, day to day. Things you feel and can relate to on a daily basis. Helped me in the worst of my days. On the days when I did not want to get out of bed and 'deal' with anything at all. Life is good and you can indeed win!

This books tells about how to be good to others to succeed in the life. It has more wonderful true examples which depicts a good tale about the individuals who are known to be remembered because of their good deeds in their real life.

Once you start reading the book, you will feel a complete transformation in your personality, by the time you end it.
You will have become far more positive in your thinking, than you ever used to be.
Recommended !

This is a kind of guide book from keynote presenter and motivational speaker Shiv Khera for his leadership training program conducted regularly in India and Singapore in my knowledge, and in any other country on request. This book helps you prepare an action plan for rest of your life, YES, rest of your life. HOW?
It asks you to make an action plan by identifying what you want, all options available to achieve that and finally preparing a realistic plan for you.
Book You can Win's eight chapter in a very engaging way focus on attitude, success, motivation, self esteem (life blood to keep you going), interpersonal skills, habits, Goal setting (real things start here) and importance of values and vision (without it one feels clueless and unsatisfied even after achieving success).
The said training program in 3 days handholds and forces you getting over with task of preparing plan. It feels very energized and positive at the last day and even though we know we can get our $1000 investment back if we drop back the material at the gate but none of us do that as we feel that material key to success and the work hard to reproduce.
But within a few month (for some maybe few days), the energy imparted by seminar starts getting weaker for most of us. Guidance over phone or email do not have impact the training has. I feel they should have a one day refresher course not costing $200 or lower. Reading book do not have the impact the impact Shiv Khera's face to face guidance has.
