It teaches lessons about making good first impressions as a means of getting ahead. It offers examples of positive words people use to make an impact. This manual encourages young people to identify and overcome their fears of failure in the realization that they can make a difference in the world. It encourages students to start making plans to attend college by making good grades, establishing good relationships with teachers, preparing to take admissions tests and complete applications, saving money, learning about scholarships, and seeking guidance from Indian graduates. This manual stresses the importance of spiritual roots, and encourages faith in God. It offers a plan to help young people begin an Indian revolution, encouraging them toward personal introspection for the development of self-esteem and spiritual strength.
