A most useful little book to dip into when one is feeling a little down; there are plenty of axioms, aphorisms and the like to help pick one up. And they come from a wide variety of people, from such as John F Kennedy to Oprah Winfrey, from Marie Curie to Shirley Maclaine and there is even one from a former NFL linebacker and later coach: Mike Ditka says, 'You never really lose until you quit trying'. And with that in mind, the overriding message from the book is, keep going and overcome whatever difficulties are in the way, it can be done as all these famous, and not so famous people proclaim.
