|
SummaryBabe Ruth spent his childhood years in an orphanage and, as
a baseball player, struck out 1,330 times...on his way to
the Hall of Fame. Elvis Presley was banished from the Grand
Ole Opry after one performance and told: "You ain't goin'
nowhere, son." Oprah Winfrey was fired from her television
reporter's job and advised: "You're not fit for TV."
Author/interviewer Steve Young relates how hardships,
roadblocks, rejections and even physicial infirmities cannot
stop people determined to succeed! This collection of
motivational stories and anecdotes of famous and everyday
"failures" shows that success rests on changing "I can't"
into "I will." From the worlds of business, science,
entertainment, sports, education, politics and the arts come
inspirational, often humorous but always helpful,
reflections from those who refused to let defeat stop them
on their road to victory. Personal stories by: Erin
Brockovich; John Wooden; Jane Goodall; Johnny Unitas; Sam
Donaldson; Teddy Pendergrass; Ann Richards; Bill Walton;
Steve Allen; Billy Idol; Dr. Audrey Manley; Jimmy Breslin;
and many more.
