CQ came across this book by chance, while waiting for Kimchi to pay for our purchases in a bookstore during our recent trip to Singapore.

Written in simple English, this book tells about people who pursued their dream jobs with dynamic combination of bravery, support from families and friends and lots of drive and determination.

What they had achieved can be done in many different fields and you too can transform your passion into something profitable. Their incredible stories and real-life advice will open up your mind to thinking BiG and out of the box!

Among the movers and shakers in this book include a primary school dropout who turned his life around by becoming a much-sought-after photographer (earning $80,000.00 a day); a female medical researcher who is among Top 50 List of the 2008 World's Most Influential Headhunters and a mobile deejay who was inspired by international deejays and finally rose to his success and deejaying all over Asia, Europe and North America.

The Author - Pearlin Siow started out as a journalist. Currently she is a pilates instructor and still writes for a few local publications in Singapore.

It is a very motivational and inspirational book for everyone to read. You can never know that you can even make millions from just selling curry puffs =)
