I came upon this book only because I worked at GTE Data Services. It was mandatory reading, and at the time - the only reason I read it was because I thought my merit raise would be negatively affected should some questions be asked during my annual review. So, I read it...let me say I am not much of a reader. Let me also say it was a very easy read. I couldn't put the book down...I had to keep reading. This book - when put into practice - has literally helped change my life...my way of thinking, my attitude. The concepts are simple, and when you read it you will stop and think, this is common sense (believing in yourself - believing you are a winner). But is it? Do we really put into practice the information in this book? If you did, you probably wouldn't be seeking such information...so I guess it isn't totally common sense. This book is simple, yet extremely powerful. I have learned to believe in myself, I have learned that "I can - without feeling the need to seek approval from my peers." I have learned to become a goal setter, and because of this, I have truly began to achieve. This is a great book, with timeless information for personal success. On a side note...Joel Osteen gave a great message about soaring like an eagle - soaring above the crowes. The message is #337, Don't Allow Critical Voices To Steal Your Dreams, which aired: 03.04.07 - 03.10.07. This message is also timeless and life changing. So, my friends, continue to believe in yourself and give all glory to Jesus Christ. Absolutely fantastic, motivating messages!
