Sam was convinced “The Cheer Man” would come to his house. Nearly a year later—to everyone’s surprise—“The Cheer Man” arrived and young Sam was ready for him.<br><br>In this powerful and inspiring book, “The Cheer Man” becomes a parable for Haskell’s extraordinary life and a metaphor for the way he’s lived it: believing in dreams, especially the unattainable ones, and making them come true. <br><br>Haskell’s core beliefs—humility, integrity, character, honesty, and confidence—were taught to him by his beloved mother, Mary. Each chapter focuses on a promise Sam made to his mother to adopt those values and shows how they led him to a fulfilling and successful life: as a precocious boy, a student at Ole Miss, and a young man in Hollywood with no money or connections, who rose from the William Morris mailroom to become the Agency’s Worldwide Head of Television.<br><br>In this heartfelt book, Haskell shows us how, even in the cutthroat, shark-infested waters of Hollywood, you can get ahead by being true to yourself. 6499892 28 4 2009 Promises I Made My Mother total:8|5:0|4:0|3:5|2:2|1:1| 8 20 38 3 6314660 0345506553
