Be My Guest

Below is a list of chapters in sequence from a book written by Conrad Hilton.  I found his life fascinating and the chapter titles revealing of his progression to his success as the namesake of the Hilton hotel brands.  
Please read and leave a comment if these titles make an impression on you too.  I honestly found them poetic within themselves telling of the American Dream as they are written.  Oh, and the book was great too.

I was recently reading a book about Conrad Hilton, the namesake of the Hilton Hotel brand.  I was drawn to this book because I was employed at the Hartford Hilton in Connecticut early in my career.  As a manager,  I learned to admire the Hilton Standards and bring these standards into my personal thoughts of what I think makes something excellent.  The Hilton Standards are what the hotel's bases their quality of service for their guest @Hilton.
