註釋In his book Cotton Fields to Summits, former senior Foreign Service officer, educator, and entrepreneur George Kennedy, describes his 35-year journey to fulfill a lifelong dream to live life beyond his horizons.Each chapter reinforces the view that each of us seeks a measure of success in our lives; that real and gratifying success, the kind that produces those moments of sheer exhilaration, comes from hard work and often difficult choices. George believes strongly that a careful blend of personal qualities and behaviors fortified by a solid skill set and a passion for learning can produce moments of fist-pumping success and a rich and rewarding life. This is the approach that took him from the cotton fields to international summits in Williamsburg, Virginia; London, U.K.; Venice, Italy; and Paris and Strasbourg, France...to name a few. His career did not just evolve. A career that spanned more than three decades with the former U.S. Information Agency, the U.S. Department of State, and the U.S. Department of Commerce, while learning four languages (Italian, German, French, and Korean) was the result of disciplined, focussed, and careful planning for a life of his own design. Life is ultimately about choices is a constant refrain with George therefore, he advises, always bring your best judgment possible to the choices you make. Then take action...and don't look back.
