Summary

This book shows and teaches the reader one of the clues for a successful life with God on it. It talks about the life of many people who decided to change their life taking the risk of been different. For example, he tells stories of real people who made the difference, and with the help of God they faced their fears and now they are not afraid of anything. Like Rosa parks. She was an ordinary person, with an ordinary life, who in an ordinary day decided to take the risk of been different. This Afro-American seamstress took her bus on her way to home from work. For that time the Afro- American people and the white people were not able to seat together. Also if a White person took the bus the Afro-American people have to give him the seat. So what Rosa Parks did was that she reused her seat to a white person who took the same bus of her. She was not afraid of anything. She fought for her and all Afro-Americans rights. And at the end she went to jail, but she took the first step, and thanks to her now everybody of any race has the same rights.

But, in contrast the author also shows the other side. He tells us with clear examples of life experiences of other people who did not take any risk on their lives. For example, it was a person who has been accountant for more than 30 years. He was making enough money for living but he was hatting his job and living an unhappy life. And his excuse was “it is the safest thing that I could do”. Like him is thousands of people out there, wasting their lives and waiting for death. This book teaches us that taking the risk of been different, thinking different, and doing what God has for us can change completely our lives, Making them an adventure in every moment.
