Life's Little Instruction Book (Large Print)
Life's Little Instruction Book - Large Print Author:H. Jackson Brown Jr. Jackson Brown wrote 'Life's Little Instruction Book' as a gift for his son who was leaving home to begin his freshman year in college. "I read years ago that it was not the responsibility of parents to pave the road for their children," says Brown, "but to provide a road map. I wanted to provide my son with what I had ... more »learned about living a happy and rewarding life."
'Life's Little Instruction Book' is a guidebook that gently points the way to happiness and fulfillment. "But it's not just for young people," says Brown. "Most of us already know how to live a successful and purposeful life. It's just that we sometimes need reminding."
A random sampling of these spattered tidbits includes:
Learn to listen. Advice sometimes knocks very softly.
Be courteous to everyone.
Read to your children.
Be enthusiastic about the success of others.
Be brave. Even if you're not, pretend to be. No one can tell the difference.
Keep secrets.
Never criticize the person who signs your paycheck.
Lie on your back and look at the stars.
Evaluate yourself by your own standards, not by someone else's.
