Produktbeschreibung
Mihalis Philotimo, a native of Greece, wasn't born with riches, but he inherited what many of us lack: a fierce determination to succeed. The author pays homage to the values he was taught growing up in a small village in Greece in the 1940s and 1950s, including calculated action, presence of mind, attentiveness, and mental agility during fluid times. On a shepherd's mountaintop across the ocean and a world apart from the United States of America, he dreamt of a better life. In 1961, he left for Germany to work in a factory so he could earn money and acquire an education. Then he headed to Canada-a move that brought him one step closer to his dream of living in the United States. Once there, he began his quest to achieve his version of the American Dream. The first part of this book is filled with autobiographical entries from the author's diary-handwritten in his native Greek tongue and translated by the acclaimed film critic and professor, Constantine Santas, a fellow Hellene.
