Thinking for Success: A Handbook for Students, Parents, TeachersAuthor House, 2008 M03 4 - 120 pages There are many good books on the market that explain how to job search, write resumes and answer interview questions. However, these books seldom address the most essential tools for success: self-discipline, motivation, goal-setting, and ways of dealing effectively with others. The value of these important personal and interpersonal skills is rarely understood by young people or their mentors. Thinking for Success demonstrates how to develop these key skills, which prove useful in many areas of life. It is clearly written, concise, and will appeal not only to youth, but to people of all ages. |
