NOTES
This exciting book highlights the biographies of several prominent figures who started down the road to success as adolescents or teenagers. Many of us are familiar with Oprah Winfrey, Thomas Edison, Leonardo da Vinci and Dr. George Washington Carver, but what is not commonly known about these individuals and others like them, is the fact that - even though they were often ridiculed, rejected and disrespected as children - they pressed on and turned their stumbling blocks into stepping stones and built a stairway to success
