If you want it: Define it.

Gerard Smith has done an excellent job getting readers to define success for themselves. So many wander through life wanting the elusive prize of success, but don't get it because they haven't even asked themselves what it means. Mr. Smith's message is clear: it means different things to different people. But one thing is sure. You must define it before you can live it. Excellent book. Stunning cast. This book sits face-out on my shelf.

SUCCESS IS IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER

Excellent book because it shows what success means to many different individuals. It is a most insightful book and is a great aid to people who have been downsized from their jobs. I recommend it also to people struggling to find their mission in life. A worthy book to have on ones mantle.
