When I was a boy, my father often pulled me aside to convey lessons
intended to build what we generally refer to as "character". Often
his advice was very simple - work hard, think for yourself, do
right by others - but I believe those lessons provided the
foundation for everything that has followed in my life. Now that
I'm a dad myself, I wanted to put them down in one place, with
examples of my own experiences, as a guide to life, adventure, and
investing, both for my young daughters and for anyone seeking
success in his or her chosen field. I hope that parents will be
inspired to give this book to their children, and vice versa, as
many of the lessons that I have learned apply not just to young
people but to all adults-for example, question everything, never
follow the crowd, and beware of boys! What a lovely, lovely book!
Though I've read all you've written, this one really touched me. It
is, of course, a love letter to your daughters, which is not only a
wonderful, meaningful thing to do, but it was filled with exactly
the kind of advice all fathers should give. Your new book will stay
on my shelf for a long, long time, and I'll be giving it to my own
kids to read. --Nicholas Sparks, author of The Notebook, Dear John,
and The Last Song
