Seventeen-years-old when I saw it, what always stuck with me was how disappointed I was at the ending of the film. Of course, having seen it countless times over the 30 years since, I’ve learned to appreciate its finer aspects. And I now think the conclusion actually provides us with a bonus that–like the Spanish Inquisition–we may not have been expecting. I could call this a carryover from the lesson of Roger the Shrubber, but I’ll just get on with it.
All too often, many aspects of life seem to end in disappointing ways. Sales deals fall apart, someone misses the last second shot on goal that would have won the hockey game, a romantic relationship fizzles out or crashes and burns, or you end up failing to study for a final exam because you have an A going into it, but blow the test and end up with a lower grade. Any way you look at it, there’s a reason the British can use the saying “before it all went horribly wrong” in a plethora of situations.
Unsatisfactory endings are an unpleasant fact of life. But do all need to be second-rate? No, they don’t. We know this because many events in life have ended well.
How we complete things can be very telling. We can take the time to finish properly, or we can rush to move on to the next thing. This book is about leadership, which doesn’t always mean just leading others. It means you, too. How you conduct yourself, in what you start and how you finish it, in life.
By writing this book, I have attempted to pass along a few life lessons I have taken away from watching one movie (perhaps once too often). But it is a film rich with subtle—day-to-day—wisdom. My goal—with this book—is simple, and I hope an honorable one. To pass on knowledge that might make a difference in your life.

Derecho al desistimiento
Si es un consumidor, puede rescindir el contrato de acuerdo con lo siguiente. Por consumidor se entiende cualquier persona física que actúe con fines ajenos a su actividad comercial, empresarial, oficio o profesión.
Información sobre el derecho de desistimiento
Derecho legal de desistimiento
Tiene derecho a rescindir este contrato en un plazo de 14 días sin dar ningún motivo.
El periodo de desistimiento vencerá a los 14 días desde que usted, o un tercero que no sea el transportista e indicado por usted, adquiera la posesión física del último bien o del último lote o pieza.
Para ejercer el derecho de desistimiento, complete de forma electrónica y envíe una declaración clara en nuestro sitio web, desde "Mis compras" en "Mi cuenta". Le enviaremos sin demora un acuse de recibo de dicho desistimiento a través de un soporte duradero (por ejemplo, por correo electrónico).
Para cumplir con el plazo de desistimiento, basta con que envíe su comunicación relativa al ejercicio del derecho de desistimiento antes de que venza el periodo de desistimiento.
Efectos del desistimiento
Si rescinde este contrato, le reembolsaremos todos los pagos que hayamos recibido de usted, incluidos los gastos de envío (excepto los gastos adicionales que surjan si elige un tipo de envío que no sea el tipo de envío estándar más económico que ofrecemos).
Podemos hacer una deducción del reembolso por la pérdida de valor de cualquier bien suministrado, si la pérdida es el resultado de una manipulación innecesaria por su parte.
Efectuaremos el reembolso sin demoras indebidas y, a más tardar, 14 días después de que se nos informe de su decisión de rescindir este contrato.
Efectuaremos el reembolso utilizando el mismo medio de pago que utilizó para la transacción inicial, a menos que haya acordado expresamente lo contrario; en cualquier caso, no incurrirá en ningún cargo como resultado de dicho reembolso.
Podremos retener el reembolso hasta que hayamos recibido los bienes o hasta que nos haya presentado una prueba de que los ha devuelto, lo que ocurra primero.
Deberá devolver los bienes o entregarlos a GreatBookPrices, Bensenville, Illinois, U.S.A., sin demoras indebidas y, en cualquier caso, en un plazo máximo de 14 días a partir del día en que nos comunique su desistimiento del presente contrato. El plazo se cumple si devuelve la mercancía antes de que venza el periodo de 14 días. Tendrá que asumir los gastos directos de devolución de los bienes. Usted solo es responsable de la disminución del valor de los bienes como resultado de una manipulación distinta a la necesaria para establecer la naturaleza, las características y el funcionamiento de los bienes.
Excepciones al derecho de desistimiento
El derecho de desistimiento no se aplica a lo siguiente:
- La entrega de periódicos, diarios o revistas, con la excepción de los contratos de suscripción; y
- El suministro de contenido digital que no se proporcione en un soporte tangible (por ejemplo, en un CD o DVD) si, al hacer el pedido, aceptó que podíamos empezar a entregarlo y que no podría desistir una vez iniciada la entrega.
