So says J.R. Parrish. Raised in the 1940s in a house on a dirt street in Macon, Georgia, he's living proof that you can succeed without having all the breaks - as long as you've got the right attitude, a burning desire, and a commitment to follow through. By learning from other people's mistakes, and heeding two mentors whose counsel he shares in this book, J.R. went from milkman to millionaire and retired in Hawaii at age fifty-five. He did this without a college education, and attributes his success to following good advice.

Parrish reveals proven secrets of success in finance, business, investing, career, dating, marriage, school, and most importantly, getting along with others - employers, teachers, coaches, parents, grandparents, and friends. Power-packed, and easy to understand and apply, this no-nonsense book is organized into five lessons for specific age groups, so you can get the best advice at exactly the time in your life when you need it most.
