Wow is all I can say. I am a father of 2 precious kids. My son Luka is 4 1/2 and my daughter Lauryn is 6 1/2. Even though Mr. Goldsborough says on the cover of his book that this is "A Business Fable", I think he should change it to "A Life Fable"! I often found myself in the role of the boy, I saw my own father in the role of the boys father, and I saw myself as the old man. This book has that ability to touch you in so many ways and at the end, as I fought back my own tears and emotions, I read where Mr. Goldsborough wrote, "If this book accomplishes anything, I hope that it will inspire you to find your own mentors, learn from them, and embrace the philosophies of The Great Ones". Well Mr. Goldsborough, I hope you know that your book does that but at the same time, so much more!

It has inspired me to be that mentor for both of my children! Who better than a father to mentor their own children? This book is a must read for any parent, for any aspiring entrepreneur, and any young person who feels lost within their current home situation. My daughter is in Kindergarten and has already become an excellent reader. I am inspired to write her first letter to her and send it through the post office so she can feel what the boy felt in the book when the old man wrote to him for the first time. I will treasure this book, but most of all, it will be one of the first my children will read for as Mr. Goldsborough wrote, "That is why it is crucial to read of the Great Ones and learn their philosophies". This book is definetly a "Great One"!

I thoroughly enjoyed reading Ridgely Goldsborough's book! The humility with which Ridgely shares the story of the little boy who grows up in an abusive household tells you something about his own character. Ridgely realizes that adversity trains one for life, and that mentors are guides who help us apply our life lessons by guiding us in the right directions. Ridgely's protagonist is one who seeks, questions, and eventually finds his own answers for his life. Read it, let it sink in, then pay it forward!
