Harvard-Trained Cornea Specialist, Author Dr. Thomas John Teaches...

Using humor, wisdom and his inner exuberance for living life to the fullest, Dr. Thomas John—also known as Dr. TJ—launched his new book “Your Lifeonomics” to an audience at Ashton Place Banquet Hall in Willowbrook, Illinois.

John, a world-renowned board certified ophthalmologist practicing in Oak Brook, Tinley Park and Oak Lawn, spoke in front of over 170 people encouraging them to look within themselves to succeed in life.

“Destiny is in your hands,” said John, also a clinical associate professor at Loyola University in Chicago. “It’s just a question of believing in yourself and unleashing the power that is within you.”

His book details how readers can take on leadership roles; make positive, genuine and quality connections; use self-discipline to bring dreams into reality; convert weaknesses into strengths; transform their attitudes into winning mindsets and notice megatrends that can affect their futures.

Originally from India, John shared his journey traveling to the United States with a dream to attend Harvard with only a few belongings and $10 in his pocket. Despite the odds, he was on a mission and no one could stop him.

“It started as a small dream in India and I was having fun in the sun. Then that dream started growing and growing and growing,” he said. “To that I added the passion which gives you the drive and ignites your inner emotions. Ultimately, it paid off. If I can do this, I tell you that every one of you can achieve your dream…Don’t live your life looking at the rear view mirror; look through the windshield. That’s why the rear view mirror is small. Don’t worry about your past because it is gone. What matters is now.”

An essential part of making dreams into reality is to put energy and focus into them. He cited American innovators such as Andrew Carnegie, Cornelius Vanderbilt, John D. Rockefeller, J.P. Morgan, and Henry Ford who shaped this country because of their hard work and confidence in their products. John believes that people shouldn’t have a “Thank God It’s Friday” attitude as they forge ahead on their dreams but one that says “Thank God It’s Monday” to have a positive work outlook.

“If you have a dream and you want to change and transform your life, you have to believe in yourself and embrace work,” he said. “There are no shortcuts.”

Attendees such as Kylie Knur, a recent Aurora University college graduate, resonated with John’s message.

“There were a lot of tips and tricks throughout his book that can be helpful such as knowing what certain business dress codes entail and what color suit you should wear,” she said. “I think this book could be of real value to anyone looking to change the way they are living or entering the business world.”
