Jack C. McDowell believes that no human life is ordinary, but regardless of humble beginnings or disastrous circumstances, each life can become extraordinary. Success, Substance, and Significance offers the reader compelling stories of lives lived far beyond the possible and destinies that live through generations. There's the farm wife and mother who died in her 30s, leaving a laborer husband and two children. Because the 12-year-old insisted that her 10-year-old brother follow his mother's wishes and do all he could to educate himself and relieve their poverty, one woman's short life ultimately gave the United States of America one of her greatest presidents. A short-order cook, retiring and suicidal over a life pursued by failures, took one good idea and made one more try. At age 88, he became a billionaire. A janitor with a bold idea contacted the CEO of a large American corporation for which he worked. His idea was adopted and year by year he learned, worked, and grew into greater opportunities in his company. Today the former janitor is a corporate and community leader with ever-increasing influence and responsibilities. Author McDowell's belief that each life is intended for a specific purpose is bolstered by dozens of such true stories. He believes that an old adage, "Do all you can, with what you have, where you are, at all times," positions us to achieve a good work ethic, personal responsibility, dependable habits, and opens gateways to the significance and destiny every person desires. Success, Substance, and Significance challenges and rewards the reader with truths about his or her potential greatness.
