Showin' Ya The Ropes - Excerpts from book

The future is wide open for the taking. You have your whole life ahead of you. Life can be exactly what you make it to be. These are just a few of the quotes passed on from your parents, grandparents and friends as you graduate High School or College. This book was written as a resource guide to help young adults understand some of the most important building blocks as they progress into Adulthood. It is a book written in the pretense of something I wish I could have grabbed onto earlier in life versus later. The culture today for the X generation is cellphones, with Internet messaging, wearing enough "bling-bling" to show how cool I am, body piercing and tattooing, short skirts and tops to show some skin, untucked shirts and baggy pants, highlighted hair, me first, myself and it's all about ME!

But you have a long way to go to get to where you want to be, right? One of my favorite tunes from The Little River Band is It's A Long Way There. That song tells the story of it's a long way there to get to where you're going. This book can help you get there.

Each chapter has a focus on some basic building blocks to give you information about some things you probably don't have a clue about. It shares wisdom and knowledge on subjects that are important to you for becoming more successful. It I had applied the principals outlined in the chapters, I would definitely have gone farther and faster, than the slow paced ride I have taken the past 25 years.

This book was built to help you succeed in areas you know very little about. Insight in to subjects you have not been taught in school that deal with life's greatest issues, which can make or break you. Why not take the easier road. Take the time to READ this book and learn about the content. If you apply what you learn, amazing things will begin to happen.

It's all about YOU! Reference any particular chapter as you enter your life's journey and be ready for the positive changes down the road that will meet up with you.
