From birth to death, all humans strive for growth and mastery and all of us experience - and must learn to handle - success and failure. How do we do it? Indeed, how do we evaluate our successes and failures when others often withhold information from us? How do we explain to ourselves and to others the reasons for our triumphs and disasters? Most important, how do we learn to manage our ambitions and develop strategies for dealing with failure and what for some people is even more difficult: success? Does the pattern change as we age?
i have read many books & know from real life & working experience that what the author says is true, & it is a very realistic & nicely done analogy of the progression of ambition & our mental & physical states (although they vary between individuals) throughout our working lives~thank you very much for this study
