The Impossible Road - From the First Seat in the Dumb Row to my own Private Island by Joe Massaro
In “The Impossible Road”, author Joe Massaro weaves an inspiring memoir that sometimes makes you ask, ‘What’s wrong with you?’
“What’s wrong with you?” This is a question that I heard throughout my life. From the Catholic school nuns I spent 10 years of my early education with, to the CEOs of industry-leading businesses. I was used to this question but I wasn’t offended by it. I just figured there was a lot wrong with me. I never passed a year of school until eleventh grade, when I discovered I was good at building.
Looking back, it is pretty clear that I had a learning disability, but with no diagnosis back then, I was on my own to figure out how to manage what was “wrong” with me. Thinking outside the box wasn’t really an option for me because I had no box! Instead, I created a successful method of trying and trying and trying again. I learned that if I tried enough stupid, crazy, “what’s wrong with you” kind of stuff, eventually something would work.
And you know what... I was right, boy was I Wright!
