This book is Samuel R. Chand's opinion on how we can be better to ourselves and others by learning his factors of the three O's: Observation, Opinions and Opportunities. In each chapter the first part he talks about how others are watching and observing your actions and the second part of the chapter is how you are watching and observing people and their actions. He tells of how we can become better leaders and how we can teach others to reach their goals and be better in their own lives. It is all in our attitudes, actions and how we see others and ourselves.
I would recommend this book to any age and anyone that needs to have some encouragement in life. Everyone has those days when you feel that nothing can go right, it is how your reactions to this is what others will see you as... a leader or a follower. I found this to be a good read, however, it was really a refresher read for remembering that with God's love and way should be how you treat everyone everyday.... no matter what is happening.

About the Book
Author: Samuel R. Chand
Genre: Christian non-fiction, self help
Release Date: February, 2020
Every one of us gets anywhere in life due to three things: someone observes us, forms an opinion about us, and decides to give us an opportunity…or not. Likewise, we do the same thing with others. People have played this essential role in our lives, and we play it in the lives of those around us—and no matter how skilled we’ve become, we can play it even better.
The sequence applies in business, the church, marriages, parenting, and friendships. We often assess others in the blink of an eye. We instinctively notice the look on someone’s face, the tone of voice, or the body language that’s consistent or different from the words being spoken. We react to our observation, but we seldom stop to analyze before we respond—it just happens, and it happens immediately: we observe and have an opinion, and based on what we’ve determined in that second, we either give the person an opportunity to engage with us or we close the door and remain guarded.
The Sequence to Success: Three O’s That Will Take You Anywhere in Life is a leadership book, but it’s not limited to corporate presidents, CEOs, or lead pastors; it’s for everyone who has a position of influence in another person’s life—and that includes all of us. In this book, Sam Chand brings our subconscious assumptions into the light. With more insight and confidence, you’ll make better decisions to advance the people around you…or perhaps show them the door. These principles also help you become more conscious that people are observing you and forming opinions about you that will open or close doors of opportunity.
