Your parents encouraged you to always look for the good in others.
Clifton and Nelson share with us in this uplifting and inspiring book how focusing on our strengths (what we currently do well) can bring us far more success than focusing on our flaws, avoiding "that most limited of specialists, the 'well-rounded man.'"

This insightful parable tells the story of one man who refuses to accept failure from the corporation for which he strives to do great things. This fast read will inspire you to always achieve your objectives and achieve everything you desire, since you are capable of doing so.
9. The Greatest Salesman In The World, by Og Mandino
I fell in love with this book, and it's created a bond between me and my father (who gave me the original copy). Rather than presenting a set of sales techniques, Og tells a story about the character attributes that any young (or seasoned) entrepreneur, salesman, and business owner must possess in order to be successful.
And he does it in a way I've never seen before. I wholeheartedly suggest this useful book.
10. The Magic Of Thinking Big, by David Schwartz
Larger is usually preferable. Schwartz, a well-known motivational expert, offers out practical techniques for achieving your ideal work, your aspirations, financial security, and all other triumphs.
Many people say this book changed their lives. How do you get success? Dream big!

Positive thinking allows you to achieve your objectives. Peale's uplifting and educational best-seller leads you through the process of developing a permanently positive mindset that will help you live a "happy, satisfying, and worthwhile life."
12. The 4-Hour Work-Week, by Timothy Ferris
Ferris redefines the concept of retirement in my personal favorite (one that I can honestly say changed the path of my life and one that I recommend to everyone).
Rather than wasting your prime years preparing for opportunities in your later years, accomplish all you want now! Ferris provides specific instructions for achieving your goals at each stage of your life, allowing you to live the life you desire to the fullest.
13. Think And Grow Rich, by Napoleon Hill
Hill's book, dubbed "The Landmark Bestseller" and the "Granddaddy of All Motivational Literature," was the first to ask, "What makes a winner?"
Create a mindset for yourself in which you think like a wealthy, successful person, and you will grow to be one. Hill goes over the ideas and measures you must take to always achieve your goals.
14. 7 Habits Of Highly Effective People, by Stephen Covey
This book has come highly recommended to me several times in the previous few years. Covey thoroughly discusses how highly effective people use their time and behave, maybe laying the groundwork for clickbait "X Steps to Success" articles.
He shows you how to be like the super-rich and always achieve your goals.
