CONCLUSION
INTRODUCTION
Picture this. A noisy room littered with paint, toys and costumes. Excited screams bounce off the walls, and a ferocious game of musical chairs is being conducted to a soundtrack of tears, laughter and scolding. The birthday boy is buzzing on the adrenalin of all this attention, and darts from wall to wall like a bee. The other children join in.

His life is fulfilling, validating and rich. A brass plated sign hangs regally on his door. It reads Ken Ravenhill, CEO.
Despite being an introvert, Ken Ravenhill defied all expectations laid upon him in childhood, and rose to remarkable success, managing a PR Firm with an annual turn over of $4.5 million dollars. He now lives in the suburbs of New York, with his beautiful wife, Clara and three children. Starting from the very bottom, he utilised the numerous strengths within his own nature, to reach forward
