AUTHOR

Rubino, John "Mariano"

SUMMARY

Mariano, or ?Yano,? Rubino might have counted himself lucky to survive, let alone achieve. Born on a Central California prune ranch in the midst of the Great Depression, Yano was the child of Sicilian immigrants who spoke no English'and who thus could teach him none. But his parents could instill in him a faith in God and in his own abilities, and an appreciation for family, community, the rewards of hard work, and the good that life has to offer. Armed with these tools, Yano knew that only the sky was the limit! Beginning in the 1930s and culminating in the present, this motivational memoir recounts his journey: from San Jose farmlands to an exciting career in skyscraper leasing and management, from San Francisco to Sicily and points in between. With infectious enthusiasm, period photographs, and a dash of humor, the author paints a vivid picture of growing up Sicilian-American in California. He also highlights, chapter by chapter, the positive lessons he has learned through experience: on reaching goals, on facing challenges with faith, on building personal and business relationships, on the importance of saying yes when help is needed. As a bonus, each chapter ends with a question encouraging us to consider how these lessons apply to our own lives.Rubino, John "Mariano" is the author of 'Yano: From the Prune Ranch to Skyscrapers', published 2007 under ISBN 9780595431489 and ISBN 0595431488.
