Motivating

this book is great. I started this book not knowing what to expect, but it motivated me to aim for the stars and go get them. The character in this book lost his mother, not befor her being able to tell him to live his life to the fullest and he did. He became used to a way of life, as we all do. However, after hearing his mothers advice he put his dreams into reality and became very successful. This book is a great read.
