The best way to predict the future is to create the future.? Peter Drucker and Abraham Lincoln. This is exactly what the author, Robert Emmett, accomplished. Robert Emmett contracted paralytic polio in 1952?three years before the Salk vaccine and thus became a member of one of the last group of polio victims. He lost about seventy percent of his muscle architecture at the age of nine years. He brought himself via a titanic struggle to be a unique and charismatic person. A person who achieved almost transcendent physical and intellectual goals. He was recognized as a leader in his professional and personal life. He developed a talent for reading people; it allowed him to utilize the best attributes of his support group in his quest to create his own persona. In his journey you will see the poignant and quixotic missteps he took (why would he learn to throw a football 50 yards if he could not run). Yet he persevered. You will feel the absolute magic of his triumphs. You will plainly see why we need to create our own futures.
