Some look at a glass as half full while others view the same glass as half empty.  Likewise, many look at obstacles as roadblocks and other see the same obstacles as problems to be solved.  Same obstacles, yet the way one views them makes all the difference in the world.  Obstacles Welcomed is the story of how far one person can come if he views obstacles as challenges with real-world solutions.  Ralph de la Vega emigrated from Cuba to the United States in 1962 at the age of ten.  He quickly learned that setting goals and then applying himself to attain those goals was the only path to a better future.  That attitude eventually propelled him to the position of CEO for AT&T Mobility.  This book is filled with both personal stories of how one man climbed the corporate latter and insights on what it takes to lead employees to give 110%.  This is a good read, especially for those people just starting their career path.
