Synopsis

A man was promised riches if he could swim three kilometers; he swam one and a half kilometers, got tired, and swam back. It takes the same amount of energy to retreat, so invest it in completion.Combining powerful concepts and principles from both theology and business, So You Want to Be the Master? delivers tools and techniques for taking control of your inner thoughts and outward actions so that you can navigate today's complicated society with confidence and ease.Joshua Maponga takes an in-depth philosophical yet practical approach to ten guiding values: privacy, effort, development, action, self-esteem, sympathy, situations, service, joy, and direction. He offers insight into each value, how society has corrupted it, and how you can use it to recover yourself and succeed in your own life with relationships and in business.Asserting that "how you believe is how you behave," Maponga shows you how faith-no matter what religion you follow-directly impacts your morality and your ability to deal ethically and effectively with modern issues. Weaving theological wisdom with common-sense advice and exercises, this inspirational guide will help you master the art of registering your existence, leaving your footprint, and impacting the world.
