• This is a different kind of success story. • Success is not always about wealth or fame. • For most, success is achieved through personal growth, satisfying careers, comfortable lifestyles and rewarding relationships. • This is a story for people of all ages - - to provide something positive and uplifting - to provide inspiration, not by famous movie, TV or sports stars, but by ordinary people - to provide examples of the significance in ordinary lives so people can feel better about their own lives - to provide youngsters with direction, motivation and experiences that illustrate how people order their lives and how parents can have more of an impact on the lives of their children - to provide an understanding of what values, traits and thought processes are essential to the development of successful lives. • It is hoped that this book will change some habits, nudge people of all ages in the right direction and encourage them to explore ways to make their lives successful.
