I am done reading your book.
There so many reflections, Rob…
My first thought is from JJ’s Story:
I learned I should go on for the things that I really want to do without being afraid of taking risks. To go forth with optimism in the journey without thinking that somewhere along the way failure might meet me and like Juan Jose, to take advice as he followed Boss Advice to find his Special Gift.
Since I was young I have dreamed of going abroad, meeting people or even working but I am so afraid to leave my stable job here as a teacher but upon reading your book, I am enlightened.
Another thought I have is that every suffering has an ending. Like Juan Jose optimism towards his miserable life. There is no such thing as bad circumstances, rather it depends on the perception of people towards the situation.
I like the last part of your book about reflections ATTITUDE. So full of wisdom, Rob.
I’ll share a short story that happened to me after reading your book:
I am quite introverted even though I am a public school teacher. An opportunity for teaching college students came my way last week. I was hesitant first because I will be dealing with more people than my elementary school children. But the thoughts in your book encouraged me, so I went on and on Sunday I will be starting to teach Marine students as a part time job.
My courage to face the steps in acquiring the job is in part because of your book. Thank you very much. I am finding way to offer the book to our school administrator.
You have the power to influence and inspire people through your writing.
