I was lucky enough to have been lent an early copy of this book by a friend of mine who works for the board of ed.
I mention that my friend works in education because as it's fitting that the book she lent me taught me something important.
I've always been taught and taught my kids and grandkids to react responsibly and wisely to success because around the corner could be an obstacle that you need to navigate. Putting money away fro a rainy day would be a simple way of explaining my philosophy.
But using those obstacles and "valleys" as a means to learn how to better manage your "peaks" was a concept I never could have come up with on my own. It really was a "light bulb" experience for me.
Thank you Dr. Johnson (and you Lilian for putting this book in my hands) for giving me new philosophies to instill in my family and new ways to teach them to excel in life.
