Make Today Count: The Secret of Your Success Is Determined by Your Daily Agenda Best Review
“Make Today Count” by John C. Maxwell is a small hardcover book that packs a good wallop in its 136 pages. The tag line on the covers states, “The Secret Of Your Success Is Determined By Your Daily Agenda.” Nothing could be more true. The only thing we really control is “now.” We can look back at the past and we can plan for the future, but now, today, is the only thing we can control. The decisions we make every day, added up over time, will determine our success or failure.
In this short but valuable book, Maxwell starts out by explaining how to make today a masterpiece, and how good decisions to day will give you a better tomorrow. He then sets out in twelve chapters to explain his “daily dozen,” or the twelve critical areas he believes you need to focus on daily to succeed.
These twelve areas, or his “daily dozen,” include: Attitude, Priorities, Health, Family, Thinking, Commitment, Finances, Faith, Relationships, Generosity, Values, and Growth. In each chapter, Maxwell explains why he feels this is important to success, and how he learned it. He shares how he incorporates these into his daily life and provides suggestions and tips on how you can too. Each chapter ends with a few questions to ask yourself in regards to how you are doing in the particular area and what could you do to include practice of that discipline in your daily life.
The book concludes with Maxwell encouraging the reader to take his list as a model and to create one of their own, and then to consciously examine what they are doing each and every day that I helping them move toward success and happiness.
Over all, I really enjoyed reading this book. It helped remind me to focus on what is important each and every day, and that the accumulation of daily disciplines is what really determines one’s future and success. I did note in the front cover that this book was originally published as “Today Matters.” Readers of that book may not want to purchase this book of the same information under a different title. Study and apply Maxwell’s twelve disciplines to include into your daily agenda to help you discover success and happiness.

Review The Legal Environment of Business: Text and Cases — Ethical, Regulatory, Global, and E-Commerce Issues

Obviously, this book would not be at the top of my summer reading list, but it is required reading for my Business Law class.
Although the legal jargon can be daunting, it tends to insert humorous examples and case studies in at the most unexpected times- just enough to keep it halfway interesting. Good for what it is, but I would suggest taking an accelerated version of this class if available.

Three Cups of Tea: One Man’s Mission to Promote Peace . . . One School at a Time Best Review
I met Greg Mortenson at a Barnes & Noble book signing event before I had read his book and before he became popular. My friends, who had read his book, took me along because they knew I would find him and his book interesting. Since then, I have met him a few times at fundraisers and most recently saw him on the Bill Moyers show. What always strikes me the most about him is his humility! He doesn’t seek praise for his work. He doesn’t care about accolades. All he wants to do is help and he wants to educate the rest of the world so that they too can help these communities. Rarely will you find someone who totally and completely puts the needs of himself and his family aside for complete strangers. This man has dedicated his life to it. Greg Mortenson deserves to win the Nobel Peace Prize for his work. I have bought copies of his book and given it as gifts because I find him inspiring and want others to know about this amazing man. I have also donated to his humanitarian efforts because I want to help his cause.
