“WORDS OF PRAISE FOR WHAT’S YOUR EXCUSE? After reading John Foppe’s amazing story, you will never look at yourself in a mirror the same way again. To slightly paraphrase John, What’s Your Excuse? is one great big hug to the heart!”
“I met John Foppe at the National Leadership Forum in Searcy, Arkansas, June 2001. That meeting was profoundly moving for me. I have faced extreme hardship in my life, but I faced it as an ablebodied man. Seeing John cope with life’s daily challenges with no arms made me feel sorry for him at first. However, I soon realized he does not feel sorry for himself. His book, What’s Your Excuse?, is an expression of his positive, can-do approach to life. I very much admire a positive message. It is what I try to impress upon the people to whom I speak. Knowledge, understanding, faith, and a positive attitude are the tools of courageous, successful people. Reading John’s book helped me understand what obstacles he encountered, daily challenges he overcame, and insights he gained along the way. These are all things we can learn from and incorporate into our daily lives. I recommend What’s Your Excuse? to anyone who wants to take charge of life and be a survivor, not a victim.”
