Overview
Life consists of a series of problems, challenges, successes and failures. From the day we are born, every step is a learning event and a challenge to which we react. Each of us meets and deals with life's problems in our own way. This book is a compendium of my philosophy on how to live a life and meet its problems.
The thoughts and ideas expressed in these essays are a result of a lifetime of study, living, and learning. Over a long period, I repeatedly voiced my opinions on many subjects that I felt were important. After so any years of discussions about them, my wife Carole began to urge me to write about these ideas. I finally agreed, and these essays are the result.
After an early education in Science and Industrial Engineering, I continued during my entire life, reading and studying in Social and Political Science, Philosophy, Psychology, Business, Education, the Arts, and other areas of knowledge.
My essays begin with how to find a good and happy life, and the characteristics that make a good person. Political decisions effect all of us. Essays on equality, voting, freedom, progress, and government deal with the results.
Another group of essays discuss bringing up children to develop their maximum capabilities, love, and having a good marriage. What makes us successful at work is closely linked to the ability to run an effective business. Both topics are covered. Many of us have favorite places to live and vacation. I tell you mine. My fantasies on what I would do differently if I had a second chance in life are explained in two essays.
My life philosophy is detailed in depth in six final essays. The subjects reviewed are: my philosophy for living, the importance of being positive, and how to achieve it, the role of sports in life, why the arts are important, having fun and learning, and the role of luck in life.
I hope that some of these thoughts will help the reader in his or her personal journey through life.
