it was amazing

As a Career Counselor, I am often talking to my students about the value of mistakes. Each time this conversation comes up, they have a hard time seeing that sometimes getting it wrong is the best thing that can happen. For example, an internship you hate can show you which path NOT to go down and solve so many future problems. The point of this book was pointing out that everyone, even influential women, make mistakes and can learn from them, which I appreciated. I enjoyed the “bite sized pieces� as each chapter was a different story and person. I read this as I was applying for a promotion and it inspired me. I picked this book up at the DOLLAR TREE and was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked it.
