This is a must read for leaders and entrepreneurs; an amazing book of proverbs for decision-making. Taking "action" is the central theme, but the book guides the reader to mine for nuggets of wisdom which will facilitate one's growth and development throughout life." Prof. Jacob Savage, PhD "This book is for those who desire to evaluate their station in life. It helps answer the eternal questions, How do I recognize the obstacles and opportunities in life, and, how do I turn them into success? Dad, on behalf of my sisters and myself, I want to thank you far sharing your wisdom and unique vision of life with others. You have prepared us so well for the future and all of its exciting yet unknown opportunities. I know that if the readers of this book follow your path, they too will find success." Michael V. Roberts, Jr., J.D. (Author's Son)
