"My kindergarten teacher told my mother that I was so shy, I would never amount to anything. This may not be an exact quote but close enough. Today, I am Chairman and CEO of a Fortune 500 company, and I can relate to everything in this book. I often tell people, ‘don’t let anyone define your potential’ like my kindergarten teacher."
