Ring! Ring! The incessant pressing of the doorbell at Jeff’s residence jolts him awake. He hurriedly jumps out of bed and changes into his day clothes. As the ringing continues, he combs his hair while shouting in reply. “Coming!”

“So sorry about the delay. What is this about?”

“Hi good morning Sir, your delivery package of three business books have arrived. Can you please sign on my device to acknowledge please?”

”Certainly, thank you!”

Jeff hugs the package in his hands as he struggles to close the door at the same time. He is an avid reader and will always order the latest business books to work on his self improvement. He knows that the best asset that we can invest in are ourselves. Therefore he spares no expense in ensuring that his mind and body are in tip-top condition.

Jeff tears open the package with visible excitement. He has a passion for reading and this extends to non-fiction titles as well. His favourite books are The Power of Habit and The Midnight Library. The three books that he uncovers are Winning in Business, the twenty secrets, How to excel in your boardroom and Agile management philosophy. These are all essential reads for any top executives who want to perform at their very best.

As it is a weekend, Jeff takes his time to pour a hot cup of joe. His wife is still asleep. He flips on the reading lamp. Its warmth glow provides the necessary light to brighten up a tiny corner of his room. But it is just enough for a top executive to read his precious books.

The next upcoming week will be somewhat torturous. He has back to back meetings all planned out. He can’t wait to get back to the office. After all his job is his calling.
