As I was reading this book, I wasn't just reading the story revolving around the characters in this book, I was reading my own story connecting it to my past and current life. When I decided to pursue my postgraduate studies at the University of Auckland, I had to convince my family and friends that it was important for my future, I had to get the message across. There were many naysayers around me who pointed out the disadvantages and risks of my decisions, but for my part I was confident and could convince my parents. My close friends and relatives supported my decision and helped me overcome it. It was the first time I stepped out of my comfort zone and my monotonous life as an Oracle-PL/SQL developer. Change is inevitable. I had accepted the reality that if I were to survive in today's competitive world, especially in the IT sector, then I would have to expand my boundaries of knowledge. An Iceberg for me was my previous work situation where there were no more opportunities for me to grow and I had to develop a vision for change. Now I'm enrolled at the best university in New Zealand and have created a short-term win. But after reading this book I realized that the change is not over yet, it has just begun and that the journey to adapt new things and change perspective as an IT engineer will continue in the future. Instead of settling I will have to work hard and strive to achieve bigger goals in my life. The only thing I will suggest is that, while reading this book, one should identify your own "Iceberg" and if it is melting, act accordingly, then this book of his will definitely help you to create your future.
