A Word to My Son

About the Book

This book consists of sayings I’ve heard over many years. I picked up some of these sayings from a variety of TV, radio, and Internet-radio programs. Most of them came from my background and experiences, as well as my creative consciousness. Most of the sayings are refurbished, reconstituted, and rewritten. They are different—to say the least. I’ve always been attracted to words of wisdom that implied a lot in only a few words. I’m trying to encourage the same in my son. By writing these words maybe other young men and women will acquire similar taste.
