And Now . . .
“There are two types of people who become successful: those that were told they could do anything and believed it, and those who were told they were worthless and did not believe it.”Karlene Petitt
“
Karlene Petitt
When Karlene Petitt was nine years old, she played a board game with her friends called, “Careers.” The spot all the girls wanted to land on was “Hostess”—i.e., Flight Attendant. But, try as she might, Karlene could not land on the spot. In frustration, she announced, “I don’t wanna be the Hostess. I’m going to be the pilot!” Her friends laughed. One said, “Silly, you can’t be a pilot, because girls can’t fly. My dad’s an airline pilot, and he said so!”
Karlene kicked her friends out of the house.
From that day on, she set out to prove wrong her friends and all the naysayers in her life. Laser-focused, she achieved her goals not only of becoming a pilot for one of the world’s top airlines, but also a successful writer, CNN Correspondent, sought-after speaker, double Masters recipient, PhD candidate, a mother and a grandmother.
Some four decades and change after she kicked her friends out of the house, Karlene Petitt has not looked back, except to reflect—and, in her latest book, we are the beneficiaries of that reflection.
As Karlene says in Flight to Success, Be the Captain of Your Life . . .
CONFIDENCE IS A CHOICE.
The market is saturated with self-help books. If you want to feel good about yourself and continue to live a mediocre life, go read those. But if you truly want to change your life and reach for excellence, read Flight to Success.
In simple, straightforward and no-nonsense terms, Ms. Petitt lays out a game plan much like a pilot plans a flight. Using this wise analogy, she helps you plan for contingencies enroute, diversions and destinations. Whether a pilot plotting your own career or simply dreaming of living a better life in general, her concrete plan takes you there.
“Life is not static, and when stuff happens, don’t stress about it, dance with it.”Flight to Success
This book is chock full of not only her own sage advice and profound wisdom, but that of others as well, from Abraham Lincoln to Zig Ziglar, from Albert Einstein to Winston Churchill, from Buddha to the Dalai Lama.
Some of my favorite quotes from her own arsenal of wisdom:
YOU ARE THE HERO OF YOUR STORY!
—Spar with Fear. Fear is a Personal Trainer, similar to lifting weights.
—Events do not define you, your choices do. You get to decide if you want to become a victim or the successful person you were born to become.
—Take the challenge, then figure out the rest later.
—Confidence is one of your greatest tailwinds on your flight to success.
Many people believe they won’t know if they’ve made the right choice until the end of the game. How will you make the right choice? Follow your heart and enjoy life wherever it takes you.Flight to Success
Read Flight to Success, then live your life to the fullest!
Disclosure: Ms. Petitt is a personal friend of mine. And, knowing her, I also know that she has poured her personality and the secrets of all of her amazing successes into this work. The reader will be hard-pressed to find a more qualified authority for writing this amazing book!
From Amazon:
