Straight A's Never Made Anybody Rich: Lessons in Personal Achievement

This is an excellent guide to reasons one should strive to do one's best in all things. Learning is more than reproducing answers on an exam. Skills learned in youth (or later) can benefit us the rest of our lives. Happiness is not dependent upon wealth or intellectual prowess. Learning never stops.....results come from work (no work, no results)......neither school nor the workplace is always interesting and fun, but you're expected to show up and do your best.......much great advice with interesting anecdotal examples from real life and literature.

I didn't know that the same Wess Roberts wrote this and Leadership Secrets because the cover was worn off. When I found out, I almost died. The stories are phenomenal. Plain and simple.

I most enjoyed this book. It is filled with everyday success stories, and shows that you do not have to make a million dollars or be a world-famous celebrity to be a success. If you need to identify with some good, commonsense values and uplifting insights, then this book is for you.
