Book Cover & Preview Text
INTRODUCTION In 1927, American writer Max Ehrmann (1872–1945) wrote the prose poem "Desiderata," a Latin word meaning "desired things." Remaining largely unknown in the author's lifetime, the text became widely celebrated after its use in devotional and spoken-word recordings in the early 1970s. In the poem Ehrman penned: Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. The impact a person’s career has been seen early on in first-meeting introductions. There, one’s occupation is often stated somewhere in the first three sentences or, the result of the first three questions. What do you do for a living? often masks the unspoken question: How successful are you? It is the intent in the writing of this book to guide you towards answering both those questions by stating your very own success. To accomplish this requires considering Ehrman’s further "Desiderata" advice: Be yourself…. [yet] take kindly the counsel of the years… To draw from the “council of the years,” there are presented herein the experiences of numerous very successful people. In this way you do not have to invest years yourself, but can glean from them in minutes the principles necessary to succeed. Lastly, there is Ehrman’s observation on life itself: You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. You are a child of the universe and you do have a right to be here. But there is more: Every person who has ever walked this planet, anyone who is in possession of a relatively sound mind, should know he or she has a unique calling and purpose placed on the life they have been given. This calling is something that can only be accomplished by them. For that reason, it is often referred to as the "Divine Calling & Purpose.” Each person, then, has been given the opportunity to succeed at that purpose, the one for which they have been called. This book is to help you find – and work towards – that success.
