Conversations on Success, a publication of Insight Publishing Co., Sevierville, TN, features a collection of chapters on the subject by 17 nationally known writers and speakers.

Dean DuBois, a former writer for The Columbia Star , is a contributor with his thoughts and ideas on success in a chapter along with the popular Dr. Steven Covey.

DuBois, in answer to what it takes to be a success, discusses his theses: “For someone to succeed, he should be armed with three or four vital attributes. He must have a great amount of energy to accomplish what he wants to do and a limitless ambition of purpose. Ambition is critical. He should be possessed of great enthusiasm coupled with determination to succeed while doing the job with enjoyment and fun. With these ingredients, along with faith, most anyone should arrive at success.”

A resident of Columbia since 1976, DuBois is a retired legal publisher, public relations counsel, and now a professional motivational speaker and humorist.

The book is available at The Happy Bookseller on Forest Drive for $19.95.
