About this ebook
What emerges after reading these stories is not only a greater understanding and appreciation of the virtues that these icons needed to get through life, but also an inspiration for the reader. Each story is followed by a small quotation from literature to amplify the meaning and application of the virtue, and each story is also followed by a series of study/review questions and other interactive activities to help the reader further understand the virtue and how to achieve it.
This book is for people of all ages, but it makes for the perfect gift from parents to children or from adult mentors to their students.

Introduction
Life requires overcoming challenges and obstacles of many types. Battling our struggles and fears determines who we are. Defeating negative thoughts such as, I stink at this!
or I have no friends!
is the key to success at any age. Hope is what we need to remind us that such thoughts are always harmful. It is one of the most important words in any language.
