Opis

Are you a young person working hard to get good grades or to have success at work? This book is designed to inspire you when you're motivated and to encourage you when you feel frustrated. The quotations you will read in this book will remind you that others have succeeded and you can too. This book is a great resource for students in high school and college as they become more independent of their parents and more responsible for their own choices. It's also a wonderful tool for young adults navigating their way through the the early stages of their work life. Note: While the primary target is young African-Americans between the ages of 16-30, the quotations are inspiring for people of any ethnicity and any age. School libraries will find the book a good reference not only for students and young adults, but also for teachers and counselors who want to use more quotes from Black authors. Church groups, community organizations, sororities and fraternities may also find this a fabulous tool for inspiring young people without lecturing, nagging or boring them. This is a great gift for birthdays, graduations, congratulations when a project is successfully completed, and for no reason at all. Put it in a "care" package being shipped to a college student or a family member serving in the military.
