| Publisher Description: This book is about the lessons I have learned over the years and the people whom have been most influential in my life. I decided to write this book because I have been very fortunate in my walk on this side of heaven.It has not been easy and I have had many missteps along the way. But, I know we learn more from our failures rather than successes. In my classes, I often asked the students to write a failure resume. This is not an easy assignment but by doing it we have a chance to look introspectively at why we fail and learn from it as to what to do better the next time. When we succeed we are happy. We celebrate but often fail to look at what we did right and how to do things better as well as what lessons we learned.I am fortunate because I became a Christian at age 19. As I studied my Bible which I had never even seen before age 16, I learned about Jesus Christ and the Apostle Paul. The lessons I learned from studying the Bible have helped me more times than I can count. I rely on these lessons every day. I do not know what I would do if I did not have the wisdom that I found among these pages. I had great parents who loved me and sacrificed for me. They sent me and my brother to America not knowing if they would ever see us again. The goal was to prevent us from falling into communists' hands in Cuba. We were part of the Pedro Pan movement to help children by Americans to get away from Castro and communism.I also have a great wife and we have been married for 34 years. She is strong but loving and has shaped our blended family into a very loving and caring family where there is no competition and everyone loves each other and accepts their differences. All five are living the lives of their dreams. Each has a different sphere of influence, circle of friends, and each is a leader, a good person as well as successful and accomplished.I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I have enjoyed writing it. |
