Graduation gift

Traditionally, people like to give Dr. Seuss's "Oh, The Places You'll Go" as a graduation gift. I think this is better - more mature and realistic for young people to think about when trying to choose a career path at a young age.

Using five topic areas the author organizes the small vignettes. The topics are ; innovation, results,teamwork, leadership & curiosity.
