And Then I Met Margaret represent a story of a businessman named Rob White who never stops achieving his dreams. He came from a poverty-stricken family that destined to take a job in the local factory located in their town. In the pursuit of his dream, Rob became a teacher and engaged also in business. Business bears a brilliant idea, but he never escapes the merchants fear, too. He experiences ups and downs in business. Momentarily, he encountered someone that twisted his world. Could this be Margaret that brought changes in his life?

And Then I Met Margaret written by Rob White procure a transformational book that will inspire many people through his personal experiences. How does his dream guide him into business? Do you have your own formula of having a luxurious life? If you give this book a try, you will absolutely encounter a word that will lift your hopeless soul.

His humble beginning mirrors many people in this generation. He represents a typical example from rags to riches story. His determination cheers a doubtful mind. I can relate to his passion for sharing his life experience to motivate other people. He never stops following his dreams even if he experiences failures and struggles in his business.

Along the way, he met different Guru that provide with him a valuable lesson. I appreciate that Rob never forgets the people who bestowed him pleasant lessons in life. I learned from his life on how he handles every situation even in tough times. Everyone of us has a negative action that sometimes will pull us down. The most meaningful thing is by not relying on our unpleasant attitudes.

I like Rob's honesty in writing his memoirs because he is true in his character towards the changes in his life. His personal experience inspires me a lot especially the way Rob handles each particular situation in his life.

Every chapter has its own story that leaves an important reminder to the reader. Some myths broaden my mind and impose on me with modern ideas. I even wonder why those myths were being preserved from generation to generation. The myth makes me realized I can accomplish better things than sticking to a myth that doesn't bring any changes at all.

I don't include any negative comments; I enjoyed flicking through this book because of the unique sequence of stories. It is professionally edited because I did not discover any errors. Therefore, I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars. The inclusion of Gurus makes me astonish as they make known their lives to Rob. Rob's business experience modefies my current situation. This book is best suited for a person who is looking for a change in their life.

I taught this book is a love story. Hmmm.. Hoping I can read this book. I wonder about the myths as well. I don't like to hear myths over and over again from my aunts and relatives; I don't know if it really existed.

Great review, just not sure this book is for me. I need a little more action and story than this book appears to deliver. Sounds like a book that is well delivered for what it is trying to accomplish.

Latest Review: Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula by R.F. Kristi

This book reminds me a little bit of Connect the Dots by Rashmi Bansal which had brief interviews and interactions of the author with successful people and their journey of how they reached there.

I like books that where each chapter is a short story so that I can read each chapter independently and even if there is a huge time gap, I can enjoy the book and don't miss out on anything or have to re-read some chapters because I forgot something from the previous chapters!

Thank you for the review!

I like memoirs that offer wisdom. I LOVE your signature. It is, as the kids say, a mood. (And it sounds like this book in particulars may help combat those things!)

Thanks for this thoughtful and well-written review.
