ACKNOWLEDGEMENT “For any successful work, it owes to thank many” No one walks alone & when one is walking on the journey of life just where you start to thank those that joined you, walked beside you & helped you along the way. Over the years, those that I have met & worked with have continuously urged me to write a book, to share me knowledge & skills on paper & to share my insights together with the secrets to my continual, positive approach to life and all that life throws at us. So at last, here it is. So, perhaps this book & it’s pages will be seen as “thanks” to the tens of thousands of you who have who have helped to make my life what is today. Hard work, knowledge, dedication & positive attitude all are necessary to do any task successfully but one ingredient which is also very important than others is co-operation & guidance of experts & experienced person. All the words is lexicon futile & meaningless if I fail to express my sense of regard to my parents & sister for their sacrifices, blessings, prayers, everlasting love & pain & belief in me. I also want to thanks my friend Ankit, Ankur & Sonal for their support. I solely claim all the responsibility for any shortcomings & limitations in this book .
