By David Mirman

He writes a story about two students and their ability to possess a book for the class. Both of the students did not had a book for the first day of class, but the next class session only one student did not have a book. Skip Downing, author, of On Course: Strategies for Creating Success in College in Life, describes the student without a book on the second day for class as a Victim. The student was a victim for blaming the school's book store for his misfortune.  The student who had a book for the second day of class Mr. Downing calls her a Creator. He considers creators to be problem solvers. The second student did not start blaming a school book store for not taking initiative of high demand for the book, but consider to contact schools nearby. When she realized that her search was going nowhere, she considered to check online for the school book. While searching online she found used book she needed for the class much cheaper, and with all of the money left over she paid for two day shipping. Mr. Mirman want us to stop living as victim, and become a creators.
