Props to Denzel Washington

I got a chance to sit down&read this Book&I think it is Great how Denzel Washington not only told his story of what lead Him to the path he made it to,but also the path of other individuals who acomplished so much because they had a Mentor or more who saw the light in them. Denzel was helped out from his expereince at the Boys Club&he had other mentors beyond his home that help guide him into what he has become. this Book is a Uplifting book that tells of various people's lives&how they got to where they are now. a Must read&Props to Brother Denzel Washington this is a Book that shows how everybody can truly make a difference.

When all else fails, Try a Little Tenderness!

This is a first outing for Denzel Washington as an author. Let me be among the many to congratulate him for a job well done. The central theme of the book is that we, all of us, are standing on the shoulders of others. There are seventy four inspirational, energizing, and motivational examples told to us by people from all walks of life.

This book is filled with interesting inspirational stories

This story is filled with stories from people from all different occupations, and the special individuals who have influenced them to achieve their dreams. Actor Denzel Washington was influenced by a professor named Bob Stone, whose letter of recommendation gave him the confidence he needed as an actor. I loved the contributions from people who are not famous like Kelly Zimmerman Lane. She learned the importance of hard work from her single mother, an incredible woman who worked three jobs to support her three daughters. I enjoyed the story of Notre Dame president Reverend Edward Malloy, whose love of learning and reading was instilled in him by his grade school teacher.
