Zweig transforms history from a cold chronology into a breathtaking human drama. When viewed through the lens of career and leadership, he proves that what we call fate is actually nothing more than a hair’s-breadth of courage—or inaction—displayed at the right moment. Fatih’s conquest of Byzantium or that split-second hesitation at Waterloo. The author states: history is not written by great titans, but only by those who can transform the essence within themselves into action when that “moment” arrives. It is the historical proof of the “take the first step” principle in the Cevvela philosophy. You’ll suffer as you reflect on how you cowered and retreated during those pivotal moments in your own life, extinguishing those shining moments. Opportunity visits only those minds that are prepared, and it never knocks on the door a second time.
