Suddenly an even greater crisis hits: his daughter becomes ill, and he can't even afford to get her the medical help she needs. When David's car skids on an icy road, he wonders if he even cares to survive the crash.
But an extraordinary experience awaits David Ponder. He suddenly finds himself traveling back in time, meeting leaders and heroes at crucial moments in their lives--from Abraham Lincoln to Anne Frank. As David speaks with each of these historical figures, they share their personal philosophies with him. By the time his journey is over, he has received seven secrets for success--and a second chance. Among these crucial decisions for success are:
- The buck stops here, and I am responsible for my past and my future
- I will seek wisdom and be a servant to others
- I will greet this day with a forgiving spirit, and I will forgive myself
- Today I will choose to be happy and be the possessor of a grateful spirit
