Winning Despite All Odds by Gaurv Krishna Bansal

In this book the author has addressed those issues, which are common to almost all youth who are trying to achieve success in their lives.
The book is divided into three parts. The first part discusses issues like getting a basic understanding of the phenomenon of ‘success’and dealing with challenges like lack of money, lack of coaching, lack of a ‘family background’, inability to concentrate, getting jilted in love etc. The second part, from which the title of this book originates, illustrates through very concise and pointed parts of the histories of three nations, the USA, Germany and Japan; all three in the backdrop of World War II; and through brief biographies of some famous personalities like Abraham Lincoln, Stephen Hawking, Lai Bahadur Shastri, Thomas Alva Edison etc; how determined and untiring effort with a ‘never say die’ attitude can lead a person to greatness despite all odds.
The third part of the book, with the sub-title The Ugly Duckling’, is author’s own story. All in all a very useful self help book for those in search of success and motivation.
