Description: Revisit decisions. Fight the compulsion to be perfect. Note the difference between power and control. There are no unimportant people. When a superior asks you for your "honest opinion", don't give it. Do the right thing, even if it's for the wrong reasons... Wendy Reid Crisp wanted to call this book Don't Look Back: Learning A Lot From Lot's Wife, but then she revisited that decision, took a long look back at her own journey, and learned a lot more. As she says, "Now I want my daughter - and my stepdaughter and my daughter-in-law to profit from the lessons I have learned. I want their lives to be interesting, rewarding, and full of delight. I want to put my arms around them and protect them from pain and loneliness and fear and things that go bump - even in the daytime when they're least expecting it. But they won't let me. So I had to write this book". Do as I Say, Not As I Did is not just for her own daughters, but daughters - and mothers - everywhere. As Wendy reminds us, success may indeed be a race, but it's not an individual event, it's a relay. Here, with the same wit, warmth and insight that made her previous book, 100 Things I'm Not Going To Do Now That I'm Over 50, a treasure that was embraced by women of all ages, she passes the baton.
