Recommendation

A young woman wanted to be a doctor, but couldn’t get into a US medical school. A Cuban medical school accepted her, but she couldn’t read or speak Spanish. She began medical training the day she began studying Spanish. She graduated within five years and is now a physician. Authors Sampson Davis and Sharlee Jeter attribute her success to her having “the stuff.” They discuss the essential elements of this level of fortitude and share stories about people whose stuff enabled them to overcome life’s challenges.

Take-Aways

  • Life is tough. To stay on top of it, you need “the stuff.”
  • Using your stuff requires a mission statement and steadfast hope.
  • Launch a bold new activity, and build your own team.
