This book reminded me to be thankful of everything I have, not to judge others, not to complain, and how far you can get if you just shut up and work hard. It was an amazing and incredibly interesting book
I read this for a book club. Good book, but seemed to rush through several decades, while spending chapters on a single event/time.
George Dawson lived a full life and never found the time to learn to read until he was 98 years old. He passed away in 2001 at the age of 103 years (born 1898). His outlook on life was always positive - work hard, be good to people, and steer clear of trouble. He never cared for coffee, preferring hot chocolate as a daily drink. The book is an easy-flowing account of his life and his philosophy that you accepted what came your way and took the good out of it. Hard work was its own reward. His appeal was such that over the course of his life he had and outlived four wives.
