Five Minutes Till Race Time (ISBN 1605637300)

A Great Motivational Book:
I just finished reading FIVE MINUTES TILL RACE TIME by Bill Hanks. This is one of the most inspirational books that I have ever read. Mr. Hanks came from a very poor family and he had to work hard for everything that he got in life. One of the biggest lessons that he learned early in life was that a person can never blame other people for what happens in his own life. We are responsible for ourselves. Mr. Hanks not only overcame poverty but he went on to a great career in athletics and education as an athlete himself, as a coach, and as a teacher. It would have been very easy for Mr. Hanks to have taken the easy path in his life and to sit back and wait for things to happen. But Mr. Hanks took it upon himself to create the life that he wanted. Congratulations, Mr. Hanks, on a job well done!
