Five Amazing Men
Author: Charles ODonnell
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN:
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 74
Book Description
This book is not about the Rich and Famous. It is not about entertainment celebrities, political leaders, sports stars, or military heroes. It is about five ordinary men, who just happened to have the amazing abilities to inspire others and help people succeed through work habits, beliefs, and their experiences. Their stories are inspiring not because these men are famous, but because they are not famous. You probably know people just like them. They could be friends, neighbors, or even co-workers. We are surrounded by ordinary people who make us feel good, who genuinely appreciate our skills, or our knowledge and our friendship, which inspires us to do even more. I have written and published four previous books on various subjects, but my success in doing so was largely due to the influence these five men had on me. Each of them in their own way, added to the richness of these stories as well as my own. All of these men have since passed away, but their legacy should not be lost to time, but rather preserved for others to read about and appreciate. I wish I had written this book 30 years ago, but if I had, I probably would not have appreciated the values or wisdom they gave to me and countless others. I hope their descendants will come across this book and recognize that while their ancestors may have been likeable, they contributed to our society the one extraordinary talent they each possessed the ability to inspire others.
