Esta es una historia sobre c mo a trav s de la determinaci n, la persistencia, la planicaci n, el trabajo duro y la respuesta a la puerta cuando la oportunidad llama, un sue o puede nalmente hacerse realidad. Es un caso cl sico de "Si al principio lo intentas y fracasas, int ntalo y vuelve a intentarlo". El xito rara vez es un viaje en l nea recta, sino que est cargado de retrasos, desv os y decepciones. Pero si uno no pierde la esperanza, sino que persevera en las buenas y en las malas, se puede conseguir la victoria, y oh, qu dulce es cuando se consigue. Tambi n subraya el hecho de que so ar sin actuar no es m s que una quimera. O, como dicen los creyentes, la fe sin obras est muerta. Por supuesto, cuando uno triunfa en la vida, no debe olvidar de d nde viene, sino que debe tender la mano para ayudar a los dem s. Esta historia real est ambientada en un peque o pueblo, Esiama, en Ghana, frica Occidental, donde naci y creci una joven, Theresa. Apenas conoci a su padre, que muri en un tr gico accidente cuando ella s lo ten a tres a os. La tarea de criarla recay en su abuela y su madre, que estuvieron m s que a la altura. La abuela Eboyie, sin educaci n formal, se empe en preparar a su nieta para la vida, inculc ndole disciplina, respeto al trabajo y a los dem s, independencia, capacidad de gesti n y astucia en la calle. A pesar de que el padre de Theresa era una persona con medios razonables y muy apreciada en el pueblo, la abuela opt por formarla mediante la escuela de los golpes duros, sin privilegios. Cuando Theresa se march de casa para ir al internado y al instituto en una ciudad lejana, estaba bien equipada para construir una base rme con conocimientos de libros a trav s de la educaci n formal. Habiendo sido testigo, al crecer, de la dif cil situaci n de la gente de su zona que ten a pocos medios, especialmente en lo que respecta a la atenci n sanitaria, so aba con convertirse en m dico para poder aliviar a su gente. De hecho, ella misma tuvo unas circunstancias de nacimiento muy dif ciles. Desgraciadamente, por mucho que lo intentara, no pudo acceder a la facultad de medicina en el primer intento. Se conform con su segunda opci n en la universidad. En el ltimo a o de la universidad, su vida dio un giro importante. Se cas con un caballero que hab a recibido una beca para estudiar en Estados Unidos. Tal vez, el sue o se har a realidad despu s de todo, pens . Pero no tan r pido, se presentaban numerosos obst culos en el camino. Se vio obligada a seguir otro camino educativo alternativo. Compagin los rigurosos programas de posgrado con la maternidad, adem s de trabajar para atender las necesidades de la familia. Finalmente, la oportunidad de estudiar medicina lleg tras m s de una d cada de espera. Para entonces, ten a 40 a os. Pero esa era la parte f cil. Tuvo que combinar el riguroso trabajo de la facultad de medicina con la crianza de cuatro hijos en condiciones muy dif ciles. Al nal, Theresa persever y triunf hasta convertirse en una doctora en obstetricia y ginecolog a cualicada. Despu s lleg otra serie de retos, esta vez de ndole sanitaria, que la han obligado a considerar la posibilidad de interrumpir su carrera m dica despu s de menos de 15 a os. Theresa se hizo en frica, donde recibi su naturaleza y su crianza. Lo hizo en Estados Unidos, utilizando su rigurosa preparaci n para aprovechar las oportunidades que se le ofrec an. Es un ejemplo estelar de c mo los sue os se hacen realidad, si no perdemos la esperanza.
This is a story about how through determination, persistence, planning, hard work and answering the door when opportunity knocks, a dream can eventually come true. It is a classic case of "If at first you try and fail, try and try again." Success is seldom a straight-line journey, but one that is laden with delays, detours, and disappointments. But if one does not lose hope but perseveres through thick and thin, victory can be had, and oh how sweet it is when it does. It also emphasizes the fact that dreaming without action is nothing but a pipe dream. Or, as people of faith say, faith without works is dead. Of course, when you make it in life, you must not forget from whence you came, but reach out to help others.The story recognizes two different cultures, Ghana (Africa) and America, and is told in a way that highlights the key differences in their value systems, and how they impacted the star of the book, Theresa, in her adult life in America. Theresa was biologically made in Africa, being born to Ghanaian parents, and was nurtured in the African culture that instilled in her African values, key among which are discipline, respect for elders and others, hard work, perseverance, God-fearing, survival skills, independence and love for family. Even though her family was middle class and well connected (her father was Special Assistant to Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, the founding Prime Minister of the Republic of Ghana), she was not raised as a child of privilege. This true story is set in a small town, Esiama, in Ghana, West Africa, where a young girl, Theresa, was born and raised. Her father, Mr. Paul Yankey, was the Assistant Police Commissioner. She barely knew her father, who was killed in a tragic accident when she was only three years old. The task of raising her fell to her grandmother and mother, who were more than up to the task. Grandma Eboyie, without formal education, determined to prepare her granddaughter for life, by instilling in her discipline, respect for work and others, independence, management skills, and street smartness. Mr. Yankey had three wives, and 10 children. Even though Theresa's father was a person of reasonable means and highly regarded in the town, grandma opted to train her via the school of hard knocks. This means that she had house chores that she performed with religious fervor. When Theresa left home for boarding and high school in a distant city, she was well equipped to build on the firm foundation with book knowledge via formal education. Having witnessed, growing up, the plight of people in her area who had little means, especially as pertained to healthcare, she dreamed of becoming a doctor so she could bring some relief to her people. In fact, she herself had very challenging birth circumstances, being born premature, a condition that is often fatal in especially rural areas where modern health facilities are scanty. Unfortunately, try as she did, she did not qualify for medical school at the first attempt. She settled for her second option in college. She studied for a BSc. Agriculture with a Diploma in Education at the University of Cape Coast in Ghana. In the last year of college, her life took a major turn for the better. She married a gentleman who had received a Fulbright scholarship to study in America. A week after the wedding, they experienced their first forced separation, as her husband had to depart for the US without her. It would be a year before they'd be reunited in Michigan. After settling in, she took odd jobs to help put food on the table. Maybe, the dream would come true after all, she thought. But not so fast, numerous roadblocks were ahead. Not being an American citizen, she could not attend medical school (at least public med school).

George Horace Lorimer's classic book of paternal advice is timeless for its lessons on conducting one's personal and professional life wisely, and to the very fullest. Letters from a Self-Made Merchant to His Son consists of twenty letters. In each, the father - John Graham - relays both news and crucial nuggets of advice to his soon-to-graduate son, Pierrepont. The hard-won lessons and experiences of life give rise to all manner of sound advice, with the author's aim being to prepare his son for the world of work that awaits him. The letters, while complete fiction, are written in a tone that suggests familiarity and a paternal bond. It is this sense of realism, combined with the father's plain spoken and honest thoughts, that makes this book shine. At times the writing is deceptively simple; only through reading and re-reading does the full gravity of the advice rendered become apparent.

"I'm proud to call George a mentor and a friend." --Michael Jordan Orphaned at just thirteen in a still-segregated Washington, D.C., George Raveling was introduced to a relatively unpopular sport--basketball--in high school. The rest, as they say, is history. Raveling went on to become one of the winningest coaches of all time, a mentor to legendary athletes, and a confidant of the sport's greatest coaches, including Bob Knight and John Wooden. He convinced Michael Jordan to collaborate with Nike on the Air Jordan. He led the 1984 U.S. men's Olympic team to their ninth gold medal. He even once owned the original, handwritten copy of Dr. King's most famous speech after an unlikely stint as a bodyguard during the famous March on Washington. Here, Coach Raveling tells the story of his extraordinary ascent, sharing incredible behind-the-scenes stories of his days working with the best in the game. But this book is more than a memoir--it's a manual for life that presents surprising methods for harnessing your potential from a man who shaped the careers of so many legends. Raveling imparts lessons learned from his grandmother, his long career in basketball, and his lifelong habit of reading--to which he credits all his success. Whether you're an athlete, a leader, a parent, a student, or simply seeking to mold your raw talent into greatness, What You're Made For is a blueprint for your life.
