The book, The Life You Imagine, by Derek Jeter, is a very good book so far. It teaches you life lessons and guides you to where you want to go in life, while explaining how and why Derek did what he did. It also says that he did make mistakes along the way, and looking back on it, he says that he would do it differently, and that you should learn from your mistakes.
Right now, Derek is in his 3rd year playing professional baseball, and he is doing decent. Im glad that they explain how he did it, and makes him look human. By that I mean, sometimes celebraties look larger than life, and that they just got there because they were good, and they didn't have any problems and its the perfect hollywood story. But with Derek, he struggled his first few years, and he made a lot of mistakes, and probably questioned why he was doing this, but he stayed with it and never quit. It really lets me relate to it, and it makes me love the book even more.
