Haywood Smith served as President Lyndon Johnson's Military Aide. He flew Air Force One. He rubbed elbows with celebrities. He commanded Marble Mountain Marine Military Base in Vietnam. He flew hundreds of missions and even survived a crash.

That's why his mantra is even more interesting. I'm going to make every day, my best day. The way he practiced and practices it now is a lesson you need to hear.

The stories contained in this book are remarkable accounts of a big life.
