Description: • This is a different kind of success story.
• Success is not always about wealth or fame.
• For most, success is achieved through personal growth, satisfying careers, comfortable lifestyles and rewarding relationships.
• This is a story for people of all ages -
- to provide something positive and uplifting
- to provide inspiration, not by famous movie, TV or sports stars, but by ordinary people
- to provide examples of the significance in ordinary lives so people can feel better about their own lives
- to provide youngsters with direction, motivation and experiences that illustrate how people order their lives and how parents can have more of an impact on the lives of their children
- to provide an understanding of what values, traits and thought processes are essential to the development of successful lives.
• It is hoped that this book will change some habits, nudge people of all ages in the right direction and encourage them to explore ways to make their lives successful.
