In fact, we tend to celebrate low expectations.The way in which we choose to live and work today is a far cry from the purposeful living of our parents.Have we reached the point in our society where it is more important to look good rather than be good, *Has the pride in doing good work been replaced by self-entitlement, perfect offices, and slick suitsThis book reacquaints readers with the wisdom-the common sense that was practiced simply and unwittingly by those who represent a generation gone by:, *A generation that worked hard without complaining., *A generation that did whatever was necessary to support their families., *A generation that took pride in doing a good job., *A generation that had high expectations for themselves and the others they were responsible for.One such member of this generation was a third-grade dropout, a man who never hid behind any excuse. A man who never allowed his problems or lack of a formal education to determine his present or affect his future. A man who realized that destiny was a choice and not a chance.This book communicates lessons from that man's life-the kind of wisdom that is rare in society today. It's the kind of wisdom that will help you be a better person, a greater leader, a more effective worker.That man was Rick Rigsby's father, and this book contains his impactful, far-reaching story-of how a life can be enhanced, of how a corporate culture can be changed, of how a family can be united-by living the simple lessons of a third-grade dropout.
