Get Smarter:
Life and Business Lessons
by Seymour Schulich
Find this item in our catalogue.
Jacket Notes:
This is a mentoring
book primarily for the 20-to-40-year-old with entrepreneurial aspirations. Many
older folks will also derive considerable inspiration from the life and business
lessons contained in Get Smarter. In examining his own life Seymour Schulich,
a Canadian billionaire and philanthropist, realized that at age 20 he-like others
his age-knew very little and was aware of that fact. At 30, he writes, one thinks
one has acquired a lot of wisdom. Upon later reflection, however, he realized
he knew very little at that age, too!
