My Review:
While riffling through a stack of old papers the author had found a list he had started for his college bound son but he had never finished. He sat down one night and finished adding to this list and soon realized by the time he was done that he had a book in the making. The list-- a list of thing of life success pointers. Things, thoughts, ideas for a young person to try to wade through and figure out and hopefully apply before too much time had passed in their life.
First on the list, discover your life's purpose or passion and find out how to build on it or use it to help others. He goes on to advise not to let work consume you. Where you neglect the people that matter the most in your life. Also don't be afraid to take risks. Sometimes you may fail a million times. It doesn't matter how many times you fall, all that matters is if you get back up again and keep trying.
The author continues to go on down the list of 100 pointers for a successful life. Things he has learned a long the way that he believes maybe helpful to others. I think the main thing he is trying to convey is that any of us can do these things lets just try our best to get it right before we reach an age where we can't anymore. Don't live half of your life wishing you could of done things differently. Start today!
