Reviews

In an optimistic life guide reminiscent of the philosophies of Dale Carnegie and Norman Vincent Peale, the founder and CEO of Seoul-based Daewoo, the world's 45th-largest industrial empire, relates how he rose from newsboy to leader of a business with international sales of $22 billion in 1991. Kim dispenses advice in short takes and aphorisms--all of which suggest that intense study, hard work, self-confidence, persistence and fair dealing beget "accomplishment, fulfillment, personal development and contribution to society." Hortatory examples include "If you are just holding your own, others are passing you by"; "Make easy decisions first, it gets them out of the way"; and "In true competition, there is no end that can justify unfair means." According to Kraar, a member of Fortune 's editorial board, "Kim personifies the drive and imagination that make East Asia a dynamic center of economic growth."

Kim is the founder and chairman of the Daewood Group, a Korean company that is ranked as the 45th largest corporation in the world. His book, a best seller in Korea, was originally written, according to the forword, for the youth of that nation. It combines autobiography with positive thinking to inspire readers to achieve their maximum potential. Laced throughout it are such pithy sayings as "If you have the capacity to be a great musician, don't sit around and whine that you will never be a great painter" and "If a boat has too many rowers, it winds up on a mountain. Too few, and it doesn't move." While offering nothing new or profound, this book will appeal to readers who like simple bromides for achieving success. Recommended only for large public libraries.

Store Description

With 3 stores less than 1 hour outside the DC/Metropolitan area (1 in Gaithersburg, 1 in Frederick and 1 in Hagerstown, MD), we have the largest selection of books in the tri-state area. Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. Items on Abe are not necessarily in stock at our retail locations. Please do not call the stores to place orders for Abe Books sales. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.
