showing up for life

is an enjoyable book by bill gates sr. it's a quick read, but inspiring and powerful nonetheless. i knew it would be a good book when i read the foreword by bill gates:

"Dad, the next time somebody asks you if you're the real Bill Gates, I hope you say 'Yes.' I hope you tell them that you're all the things the other strives to be."

i also liked this quote:

"Eighty percent of success is showing up."-Woody Allen (amen!)
