Auspicious: The Journey Behind Pursuing Your Dreams

No path to success is the same, and neither are the outcomes. This book is a glimpse at different individual’s lives, seeing how they have had and still are striving to make progressive steps toward success in their lives, despite of what their environment has to offer, or the trials and tribulations they might have encountered. Each individual is making great efforts in understanding that we all unite with pain and struggle, as it is a part of everyone’s story. Whether you are trying achieve your everyday tasks or to accomplish monumental goals, we all have a story of how it was tough to get there. But when you finally make it, if you never give up, everything becomes a memory that you reflect on that is unique to your process. The common connections amongst all stories shared in this book are the self-determination, passion, and resiliency you must possess to achieve individual greatness and how their stories may inspire others. My Success isn’t defined by how much money I make, or by going to Harvard or Yale, but rather by how I can change the world. If it just so happens that I make a large amount of money doing that, then so be it… -Justin Z-man Zemser, Naval Academy Midshipman
