Fellow writers, how about this lesson in patience: 27 years after publication, one of my books snagged its first Amazon review. The book is long out of print, but now it has 5 stars. Its lover never bought it, having first photocopied it from the library and then having found a used copy after cockatiels ate the pages.
I first discovered this book in my federal agency's library; I was so impressed with its plain spoken wisdom regarding taking responsibility in the workplace, I photocopied the book in its entirety! Then, unfortunately, my cockatiels got hold of the photocopy and destroyed it! That sent me looking for the book again, which I felt extremely fortunate to find on Amazon!
This book was originally part of a larger series of book on work related topics. Out of the series, this is, by far, the most compelling one! As I say in the headline, if you're fortunate enough to find it, read it to yourself, then share it with your children! It communicates so well, and so succinctly, the importance of taking personal responsibility, one would be hard pressed to find a better articulation, and the fact it's written in plain language, at the 5th grade reading level, actually makes it even more compelling; I liken it to the way Ernest Hemingway might have written it, for he was so plain and straightforward in his writing style!
In closing, I'm glad I have my own version now, and in hardcopy. Every once in a while I take it off the shelf just to revisit its ageless and timeless wisdom.
