There are 5 things that I learned from reading this book
1. Positive addiction : approach every thing in a life with a positive attitude which resolves nearly 80 percent of the problem. Even in the toughest situation positive approach will provide solution to the problem Visualisation Effects: always imagine things that are to be happened so the law of attraction theory will help you to achieve that things, it can be car, home or any other thing. First ask for it , work for it and you will receive the imagined one.
2. Author also discuss about 80/20 pareto principle of success. 80 Percent of success is achieved by the 20 of the effort for the work.20 percent is seen as high value activities and remaining 80 percentage is seen as low value activity . Instead of focus on low value activities, Individual can focus on high value activity to avoid procrastination and also do complete the work effectively. Author also describes 20 % as vital few and remaining 80% a as the trival many.Vital few has no replacement so to avoid procrastination, eat that frog.
3. Priority the work: If the there is biggest frog a and the ugliest frog to eat , go for the worst.Always priority to your work as ABCDE principle. Priority A, the work must to be completed, with in the deadline. It is the highest value activity as it has no substitute and no short cuts to complete it,as it requires one’s best efforts .Priority B should do kind of work, with self interest one can do this work and complete it. Priority would do kind of work , based on the willingness one chose this work or can be avoided . priority D , delegate the work to someone else, which means transferring the responsibility to someone else.Priority E, one can do whatever , to eliminate from the problems, as it consume more time and does not add any value to the work.
4. “a journey of a thousand league begin with single step” . It is very difficult to break a big stone with a hammer but if it is repeatedly smash with hammer, on some instances it has to breakup.One cannot achieve success in a fortnight, as it requires lot of patience and continuous efforts Remember continous learning is the minimum requirements for the success.Always believe an extra 10 or 20 % of the effort always results in 110 or 120% of results. Best way to address the difficult problem is to take first steps for it.
5. Always consider as role model and high on self esteem. Role model is the one who always take right decisions. He always be an inspiration for the others.consider as an role model and thus have responsibility to solve the grievance. Self discipline is another key important factor one should possess so as to achieve the goal. A self discipline person always be happy even in tough situation, highly confident and very competent compared with others.
Verdict : This book eat the frog gives positive approach to life
