Andrew Bode thrived Against All Odds

Andrew Bode was born in 1945, in Australia at the end of World War II.  Foreign armies came to the country to help save it from the Japanese war machine with unintentional consequences -- the birth of children to soldiers who had long since died or returned to their home nations.  Andrew was one of those children.  He grew up in an orphanage with little hope for a successful life.  Fortunately, he had an inquisitive mind that motivated him to ask questions and find the answers.  The chapter on Motivation provides useful direction to the ways that we can pursue our goals and thrive Against All Odds.
