Oh the Place's You'll Go!

Congratulations! Today is your day. You're off to Great Places! You're off and away!

You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the guy who'll decide where to go.

Dr. Seuss was one of my childhood heroes. As a child, his books spoke to me with a high level of respect and intelligence that always endeared me to whatever lessons he was teaching through his rhyming words and oddball characters.

Like all truly great writers, those same books can be read and digested on multiple levels, at all ages, across religious and cultural divides.

This is an excerpt from one of my favorites, "Oh the Place's You'll Go!" Published in 1990, this book reads like an ode to personal branding and the entrepreneurial spirit.
