WHAT do Thomas Edison, Renoir, Charles Schultz and Winston Churchill have in common? Each of these personalities faced hardship,
failure or rejection during their lifetime, but
persisted in their efforts, finally tasting success only much later. This is the message that motivational speaker and author Lewis
Timberlake tries to get across through his book: It’s Always Too Soon to Quit. He substantiates his message with hundreds of inspirational examples of people who have persisted despite the odds, overcoming physical handicaps, personal losses, failures and naysayers. He proves that success is not instant or a matter of luck: people earn their own success through sheer, dogged hard work. Timberlake charts out six steps to follow when confronted by challenges, and encourages readers to develop the dedication and patience needed to achieve their goals.
