I am 42, am on the ‘right side’ of my mid-life
crisis, and am currently earning my first
million dollars.
I already have attitude – in abundance.
It has taken many years for me to get to where I
am now – years filled with a plethora of
motivational / self-help courses and seminars.
I am what I am today – living my ultimate dreams
& expectations – because of the enlightenment I
have gleaned from these ‘gems’ along my life’s
path.
My only regret – is that life is too short - to
be waiting until almost half of it is over
before realising ‘how it all works’.
Julie Davey has collected all of life’s lessons
(gems), and repackaged them like never before –
to be delivered to the correct
audience – the young.
We as adults, can look upon this book as a
collection of truths, that we generally ‘know’ –
perhaps even practice – or maybe some we are
reading for the ‘first time’.
The truth we must realise is this… where would
we be today,
had we known these facts at the
earliest possible
stage?
Julie Davey has given our most important asset –
our youth and their future – the best possible
start in life. If these simple truths are
learned and practised from deep within – by all
our youth, from an early stage – then I have a
very warm feeling for the future of planet
Earth.
We often look upon our world of ‘today’ – and
shake our head at how ‘bad’ it has become.
We must take responsibility for that. We cant
expect our young to do any better than
ourselves, if we don’t pass on what it took so
long for us to learn.
It is my belief that this book should become
permanently enshrined in the early curriculum of
our youth. It should be a mandatory
‘pre-requisite’ for life.
How often have you
uttered the words "I’d love to be young again –
and know what I know now". I shudder to think
where I would be now if I had read (and
absorbed) this book at an early stage.
Who are we to ‘hold back’ our youth. We should
embrace this book of ‘life’s gems’, and pass it
on to all our youth. Only then, can we be like
the tribes of old, who passed knowledge down
from generation to generation – as if their
future depended upon it.
It did… and so does ours.
Our future – as a planet of hopeful souls –
depends upon the successful increase in human
capabilities over many lifetimes. We must not
let our youth wait 42 years to get their start.
If we love them – if we love the reason we all
live – we will pass on this ‘Book of Truths" and
make sure they understand every word, and every
meaning – even those that may be ‘between the
lines’
Do your children a favour. Do the world a
favour. What the heck – have attitude - do
yourself a favour.
Give a child you love the opportunity at getting
life ‘right from the start’.
Teach them the values within this great book.
If you do this properly – you’ll never hear the
words "I’d love to be young again – and know
what I know now" from your children.
Now that’s
Attitude.
