Summary: This book is truly a masterpiece...
Comment: This book is one that motivates me. This is one of the best books that I have ever read. It truly ranks up there. Reading how Reginald F. Lewis, Kappa Alpha Psi brother, Virginia State '65, made it to Harvard without taking the LSAT, or even putting an application, and becoming the first and only person to do so, deeply inspired me. One of the things that I got from reading this book was Reginald Lewis' sense of determination. A statement that I got from this book which depicts how Reginald Lewis refused to carry his race on his shoulder also inspired me. He said " I'm not going to carry my race on my shoulder. If I can be helpful to others, that's fine, but I'm not going to do my work because I'm a role model for all African Americans. That's bunk. I'm not responsible for any body's life, I'm responsible for my life. And I'm responsible for realizing my own dreams. I deeply respect such an attitude, as opposed to that attitude which relies on black people who made it in life to carry everyone along. Overall, I found this book to be exceptionally well written. I enthusiastically recommend this book to anyone.

Summary: Unfortunately there are only 5 stars to give to this book...
Comment: Reginald F. Lewis offers to us a guidebook on perseverance, not understanding limitation and humanity that is certainly a must read. He teaches us through his life that the many self-imposed limitations are the greatest obstacle to success. To see a man dedicate himself to his familiy, business and community in a manner that should be considered enviable for ALL races, is truly inspirational. A consumate "player" Reg sought to understand "the game" and all of its nuances then to play it to perfection. He recognized the role that race played but would not allow it to be a limiting factor in his personal or business lives. His life serves as a testament to the triumph of the human condition over a hand that many would say should have dealt him out of the game. I consider this book my inspiration and guide as I navigate the waters of business and investment. The title may put off many but it speaks volumes to Mr. Lewis' philosophy. If readers of all races step back and consider what this title represented to him they will understand the motivations underguirding its meaning and the actually "color blind" nature of this work which should be considered a text as well as an autobiography of a great man.

Summary: WOW is all I can say.
Comment: This book made me want to work so much harder in life to achieve my business goals. The key is fake it until you make it. No one knows you struggles unless you tell them and you can't make excuses for your life and why you have to work hard. I read it fast and read it again.
