YOU... A PHILOSOPHIZING HUMAN

About the Book

The idea behind the book is to inspire people and especially my family to read and to write.

Somehow I started reading comic books between the ages of three and four. And not really knowing how that happened. U continued to read various books even with several nieces and nephews hanging all over me (those that lived with us).

I remember reading in elementary school "There is no frigate like a book to take you miles and miles away" somewhere on the reading tests, my mother and father were told in elementary that I read at a twelfth grade level.

Read in a neighborhood that stressed playing outdoors brought some pointed finger at a boy who was sitting on the porch reading in the summer while his peers passed by to go play some game. Yet it helped him pick up many philosophies along the way.

Certainly I struggled to write sentences that did not always begin with I. I did so because I believed that one's thoughts could be put on paper. So what you read here are some of my thoughts and philosophies that have been with me over many years.
