Review
Sylvester Myers peered thru a slat in the proverbial fence and saw a world of possibilities on the other side. I went with him on his journey as he reinvented himself over and over again. He is a thinking business-minded man cut from the dwindling cloth of those old southern craftsmen. --John Singleton, Oscar-nominated screenwriter and film director (Boyz N the Hood)
Sy Myers is the consumate professional. Here is a humble man, indeed a man's man, who is a friend, colleague and mentor. This book is a wonderful record of his life, understated and honest. Compellingly simple in its description of his life, richly layered with recollection, it provides a blueprint for others to follow, if they just reflect on Sy as the model professional. --Terrance C. Ryan, PhD, PE, Executive Director, Engineers and Surveyors Institute
My friend Sy Myers' autobiography is the inspiring story of his climb from a two-room shanty in the Depression-era coal camps of West Virginia to the heights of international business. An account of his personal search for "something better," it deserves wide readership as a true story of what one man, with high ambitions, a firm self-confidence, and the will and personal discipline to do his best, can make of life's challenges. --E. Lily Murphree, Jr., PE, PhD, Professor of Engineering Management & Systems Engineering, The George Washington University
