Book review: How to be like Walt by Pat Wiliams, Jim Denney

Think of Disney and we immediately associate it with fun, adventure and larger than life quality.
I( and maybe everyone) have grown up watching the Walt Disney classics be it Cinderella, Mary Poppins, Snow White etc. The book is about the man behind it all: animation, Disney land : Walt Disney.
Not only is this book about the life of this legendary genius but also great perspective on what all of us can learn from him.
Firstly: After reading this book, Walt Disney has become one of the most inspirational people I have read about.
Surprisingly Walt Disney was a self educated man." Successful people are those who have learned how to learn. Whether college educated or self educated, successful people depend on themselves, not others for their knowledge, skills or wisdom. People who are committed to life long learning have everything they need to shape their destinies."
Walt Disney died early of lung cancer. Williams sketches a real biography, showing Walt as as a real person, bringing out the possible flaws and the genius in him. It is extraordinary how he lived his life with a sense of urgency, adventure, with utmost focus and unlimited creativity which requires tremendous courage, the 'plussing' persistence, the triumph over so many failures and the vision.Phew that's a lot!
As Walt says he started with a mouse. And he went onto achieve an extraordinary amount in one lifetime.
He teaches you to think beyond your lifetime if you want to achieve something worthwhile.
" If you live your life right, things happen the way they are supposed to."
Some people live on after they die. It rings so true for Walt.
