While perseverance seems to be the hallmark of every successful person whose story we have heard, is hard work and a ‘never say die’ attitude all it really takes? Ong Eu Jin, author of The History of Success, delves into the past to explore real events that catapulted some of history’s most famous figures from unknown depths to stratospherical heights of success. We start the series by taking a look at the personal journey of great creative minds like Van Gogh and JK Rowling.
