This was an interesting little book. It has a number of good points, interesting references to the story of Oz, and original art from the Oz books as well. I think the tips in this book are solid, although I feel also commonly talked about. However, my favorite tidbits tended to be quotes by people other than the author. This was a quick and informative read with some interesting critical thinking questions.
"If your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt." - Henry Kaiser
"Actions speak louder than words and people watch what you do more than listen to what you say."
"If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives. Do good anyway.
"If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies. Succeed anyway.
"The good you so today will be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway.
"Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable. Be honest and frank anyway.
"The biggest men and women with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest men and women with the smallest minds. Think big anyway.
"People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs. Fight for a few underdogs anyway.
"What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight. Build anyway.
"People really need help but may attack you of you do help them. Help people anyway.
"Give the world the best you have and you'll get kicked in the teeth. Give the world the best you have anyway."
- Kent Keith
