"In 1934, eleven-year-old Shimon Peres emigrated to the land of Israel from his native Poland, leaving behind an extended family who would later be murdered in the Holocaust. Few back then would have predicted that this young man would eventually become one of the towering figures of the twentieth century. Peres would indeed go on to serve the new state as prime minister, president, foreign minister, and the head of several other ministries. He was central to the establishment of the Israeli Defense Forces and the defense industry that would provide the young state with a robust deterrent power. He was crucial to launching Israel's nuclear energy program and to the creation of its high-tech "Start-up Nation" revolution. His refusal to surrender to conventional wisdom and political norms helped save the Israeli economy and prompted some of the most daring military operations in history, among them the legendary Operation Entebbe. And yet, as important as his role in creating and deploying Israel's armed forces was, his stunning transition from hawk to dove--with its accompanying unwavering commitment to peace--made him one of the globe's most recognized, honored, and admired statesmen. In this, his final work, finished only weeks before his passing, Peres offers a long-awaited examination of the crucial turning points in Israeli history through the prism of having been a decision maker and eyewitness. Told with the frankness of someone aware this would likely be his final statement, No Room for Small Dreams spans decades and events, but as much as it is about what happened, it is about why it happened. Examining pivotal moments in Israel's rise, Peres explores what makes for a great leader, how to make hard choices in a climate of uncertainty and distress, the challenges of balancing principles with policies, and the liberating nature of imagination and unpredicted innovation. In doing so, he not only charts a better path forward for his beloved country but provides deep and universal wisdom for younger generations who seek to lead--be it in politics, business, or the broader service of making our planet a safer, more peaceful, and just place"-- "Shimon Peres' final work, finished shortly before his death. An autobiography and study of the crucial moments in Israel's history. "It would be easy to review what elapsed during my 93 years purely for nostalgic value. But here, in the final chapter of my life, I am not interested in simply putting a marker down regarding my specific recall of the past. Instead, I am writing a book about what it takes to fight cynicism in all of its forms, and what it takes to follow dreams no matter their size.""--… (mehr)

“ ‘In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams."- Acts 2: 17

No Room For Small Dreams by Shimon Peres taught me that dreams are goals with a deadline. He had a dream and he accomplished his dream.

Quote:

From my earliest youth, I have known that while one is obliged to plan with care the stages of one's journey, one is entitled to dream, and keep dreaming, of its destination.

Plan the steps of your journey in finite detail. But also leave room before adaptive flow in reading of books and in educating yourself through articles and positive discussions with those around you. Plan what you are going to say before you say it by writing it down on a notecard and keep it with you until someone addresses you by name. The skill in being an excellent conversationalist is to not talk at all. But to keenly listen and pay attention to what is going on around you. So many do not listen and they want to talk to let their stories or their ideas be heard. When what they really are saying is of no importance to you and only bolsters their own individual ideas or their own viewpoint.

By this quote Shimon is saying that if you plan your journey your journey will go by your plan and you will have a glorious life full of blessings and joy and love and peace. Those who do not plan live in regret. Those who do not plan live in the past. Those who do not plan live in sadness. Those who do not plan live with anger and old rage. Those who do not plan live with misplaced feelings and emotions that can make them drive away those that love them and then they turn around and push away the one person closest to them that is left. Do not do that. Shimon is saying deal with your emotions in a manner that is agreeable and you will be at peace.

Live a life worthy of love. Live a life full of peace. Live a life of joy. Live a life of happiness. We get maybe one or two chances at achieving a satisfactory journey in life so we have to plan the work and work the plan or else leave it up to the hand of God. And not say that it is thus and thus way because God made it so. We are not the mind reader of God. God leads us. We do not lead God. ( )

I actually bought this book for my wife who always adored Shimon Peres. I had no idea he was involved in so many important events over the years. Very inspiring! ( )
