Never Give Up is a compelling life journey from extreme poverty to success. It provides hope and inspiration for everyone wounded by life's circumstances. Marion Devoe spent 40 years working his way up from poverty and family turmoil in Savannah, Georgia, overcoming his own self-doubts and fears as well as persistent racism. A talented basketball player, instead of playing basketball in college and potentially going to the NBA, he was drafted to the Vietnam War. The war left its scars on him, but he survived and came back to go to college and work to help his family. After working at the United States Postal Service as a draftsman, Devoe used his experience in his position in Savannah to move up to postal operations manager at the USPS headquarters in Washington, DC. During his tenure there, he earned his MBA, and shortly after that, he was offered a position at the White House as chief operations officer. The Monday after retiring from the federal government, Devoe started at Xerox, helping to win mail operations contracts. After Xerox, Devoe became the director of operations for the medical campus of Northern Virginia Community College, from which he retired in 2019. Along the way, he ran a janitorial business, taught high school, got married, and had kids with their own successful careers. Happiness and success don't happen overnight. Your results are driven by your commitment to the power of a natural endowment-your Gift inherited at birth-and to never giving up. Don't give up until you are living your life's dreams.
