My Favourite Books- University of Success
Fresh from secondary school and while waiting for undergraduate admission, I got to know about a library at Ibadan called A Day Shall Come Christian Library. It was located around Town Planning, Ring Road.
Fresh from secondary school and while waiting for undergraduate admission, I got to know about a library at Ibadan called A Day Shall Come Christian Library. It was located around Town Planning, Ring Road.
It was owned by a Christian minister who made his private library available to the public for free. He had all manner of books and I visited the library almost on a daily basis. My love for books was consummated in that library. That was around 1991/92.
It was at that library that I came across Og Mandino's University of Success. I recall sitting with the book and raptured by the words. The book is divided into 10 semesters and different chapters were written by different authors. 
It's a compendium of the best from the very best- Dale Carnegie, Norman Vincent Peale, James Allen, Napoleon Hill, Clement Stone, Benjamin Franklin and many others.
It's a practical book and dealt with different topics such as how to take charge of your life, how to find the courage to take risks, how to conquer the ten most common causes of failure, developing a vision for your life, dealing with the challenges of success and mastering time
I have given out more copies of University of Success more than any other book. If you need to have just a single self-help text in your library, this book is your best bet.
