Enjoying this way more than I expected to...

Awesome way to spend my night.

You will be a better person after reading a few chapters. This book has withstood the test of time. It also shares neat history blurbs!

Came highly recommended!

I really want to try the math flash cards with my students! "Use encouragement. Make the fault seem easy to correct."

I know I've felt this way about a person before and now I wonder if I've said anything as powerful as this: "Marie, you do not know what treasures are within you."

"Praise the slightest improvement and praise every improvement. Be 'hearty in your appreciation and praise.'"

Let's tackle chapter 10, shall we?

Back to reading this now that I'm done with Three Feet From Gold. Hope I can finish it before the next book comes in the mail! I've got about 90 pages left.

A great read...surely changed my life

Easy. On-target. Positive. Everyone should read this book.

Back to reading this one now that I'm done with Born to be Rich by Rollan A. Roberts II. It's nice to be able to check in to a book on GetGlue again.

A must read for all managers, workers, fathers, mothers, businessmen, lecturers, teachers, preachers, social workers, etc. Should have read this long time ago!

Almost done! Such powerful information. :*)

Disregard the hokey title: it's a classic for a reason. Read it and see!

Not into all these self help books but been told this is a must-read so I'm gonna give it a go!

Studying how to be an exceptional human being.

This classic is the best tool in building REAL Relationships. Read it, after Crush It!

No super awesome quotes today but still a very good message. I read the chapter saying you should admit when you're wrong, quickly and empathetically.
