HOW IT STARTED
“Quotations wisdom for success.com” is a direct outgrowth of the book, “Whatever You Become, Become Your Best,” by Gary and Esther Berkley.
In their well-received and easy-to-read guide to wisdom for success, Gary and Esther offered an engaging collection of inspiring quotations, along with clarifying commentaries, to portray the wide-ranging landscape of values, human qualities, and meanings that are all relevant and intimately related to becoming wise about achieving true success in life.
THE MESSAGE: WISDOM FOR SUCCESS
Their overarching and extremely important, but often neglected, message is that in order to achieve true success in life, you will need to focus on the challenge of becoming wise about success.
You need wisdom and not just information and academic knowledge to succeed in life.
“Learning without wisdom is a load of books on a donkey’s back.” (Zora Neale Hurston)
Without wisdom, all the good grades and even money, power, and fame will not necessarily bring you happiness and well-being. No one is born with wisdom. It is a quality that must be acquired and developed through learning, experience, and thoughtful reflection.
Esther and Gary’s book provides an inspiring, valuable, and easily accessible overview of the wisdom essential for living a successful life.
Positive Reader Comments:
“Whatever You Become, Become Your Best” by Gary and Esther Berkley
“This book is full of wonderful quotes, insightful discussion, and inspiring words of wisdom While it’s geared toward those who are college aged, this book is awesome for any age. …look forward to reading it again in the future.” M.T.
“…amazing number of quotes, many of which are by themselves wonderful to read, but by giving the reader something other books of quotations fail to do – commentary. Rather than a “who’s who” as the most important aspect of the book, the commentary gives the reader the opportunity to put the particular quote in context such that its significance is in suggesting to the reader how that quotation can assist to leading not only a productive life, but one within appropriate ethical boundaries.” Verified Reader
“I highly recommend this book to anyone in college or in graduate school. This book is well written and communicates the ideas we want the future generation to live by. These strategies could help eliminate the problems that are present in young people’s lives. The authors have done an excellent job in pointing out wisdom through meaningful and thoughtful reflections, following each quotation.” Verified Reader
“This beautiful book is … a compendium of wisdom … simple to access, direct, and to the point. It does not require a lot of dedicated “study”. Rather, it is a collection of “gold nuggets” on subjects such as life, character, courage, kindness, forgiveness, love, and many more; all punctuated by insightful quotations. What better way to inspire the youth of today and tomorrow! I love it! You will also.” M.W.
“Things they should have taught us in school. This is a fantastic read filled with lessons that enable one to achieve the life they want…. School teaches people how to do tasks, but it doesn’t teach us the underlying principles of how to interact with the world positively to achieve what we want. Easy to read and well-formulated!” Verified Reader
“An amazing “success toolbox” perfect for the college student…easy to read personal growth reference….” R.E.K.
“This is an inspiring book…to be read a bit at a time. As you read you can take a quote and think about it, then go to another. The reflections from the authors are thoughtful and help you get the main idea.” gerard v h
“Words of wisdom not only for college and grad students! Well written series of one-pagers, discussing life lessons from multiple sources. One often hears quotes from great people, but rarely are they strung together with practical analysis and everyday applications as are presented here.
If you have just 15 minutes each day to devote to your personal growth, this book is the way to approach it. Recommended!” G.D.
