NEVER GIVE UP!

Bernadette Dunne's pleasing vocal personality comes through as she delivers Meyer's work on goal setting. With seamless narratives she illustrates the author’s use of the acronym SMART to remind listeners of important points: Be Specific, have Measurable and Attainable goals, be Realistic, and set a Timely completion date. Dunne captures the emotional tension in over 50 inspirational profiles of people who overcame adversity to attain their dreams. With light enunciation she tells stories of an eagle, raised as a chicken, who didn't know he could fly until he tried; the chemist who invented Post-it® Notes; and the African-American woman who traveled to Paris to learn to fly, among others.
