DRIVING FORCE

Charles Johnston's life has not followed a simple or straight path. Full of twists and turns, highs and lows, Driving Force vividly recounts Charles' lifelong pursuit of personal fulfilment and professional success. His rise from a high school dropout to a top manufacturing manager of a Fortune 500 company is a journey full of exciting achievements, as well as humbling failures. Charles openly discusses the trials of juggling his career, military service, and family. Broken relationships that began in childhood continue to plague him into adulthood. Jobs and promotions pass him by. Yet through it all, he perseveres. Incessantly driven by a desire to better himself and achieve success in life, he refused to allow society to define him as a child and he refused to allow setbacks to limit him as an adult. Today, he continues to set goals and experience all that life has to offer. Thus, Driving Force is a story replete with humor and heartbreak, wisdom and hope; it's a tribute to the past and a motivator for the future. May it inspire you to overcome your challenges and actively pursue your dreams. Life, after all, is what you make of it.
