Overcoming the 4 Failures

While walking through a large discount store I wondered why many of the shoppers had not been more successful in their careers and perhaps in their lives. As I watched and thought about their situation, as well as my own successes and failures, I arrived at four failures that severely limit people's lives.

• Stupid - uneducated and unprepared to learn and grow.
  
• Lazy - unwilling to work hard and put out the effort to overcome obstacles.
  
• Ugly - rude, inconsiderate, and even violent to other people.
  
• Afraid - terrified to try something new or to brave the unknown.
  

I researched each of these areas in the psychology, leadership, and self-help literature. This book speaks very frankly to the damage that these four behaviors can do to your life. It offers alternatives and a means to change these weaknesses into strengths, specifically into:

• Smart
  
• Active
  
• Attractive
  
• Bold
