For today's graduates, the possibilities and opportunities are exhilarating and endless. But while there is adventure ahead, the next steps are not set out in a predetermined course — perhaps for the first time in a graduate's life. In this delightful gift book, inspired by a 2014 commencement speech she gave, the former first lady of Massachusetts and wife of 2012 presidential candidate Mitt Romney offers eight practical (and surprising) tips for the road ahead — pieces of advice she wishes someone had given her at her own graduation. With stories and examples gathered from decades of life experience, Ann Romney shares candid, inspirational lessons learned from both adversity and success. (Her husband, Mitt, adds a little perspective of his own in the book's Foreword.) For those just beginning their journey, this hopeful, encouraging book provides bite-sized tips — personal and professional — for any walk of life, whatever you choose to be.
