Section II explicates 19 spiritual concepts, including "Unconditional Love," "Religious Pluralism," and "Environmental Stewardship." And, Section III elucidates 17 maxims, like "Take a problem and turn it into an opportunity."

Book Synopsis Advice for My Grandchildren by : Gordon Feir

Download or read book Advice for My Grandchildren written by Gordon Feir. This book was released on 2003-09-30. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advice For My Grandchildren is a collection of anecdotes and ideas inspired by the author's grandparents, with whom he spent many boyhood hours. As generations and circumstances change, so do the experiences of our elders, and they cannot resist passing these experiences on to their offspring. In the minds of grandparents this advice is invaluable and timeless. In the minds of grandchildren it is often boring and irrelevant. This collection is broken loosely into three categories entitled People, Places, and Things. Reminiscences are not chosen for any special purpose other than to pass on some of the lessons the author has learned, often at great expense or embarrassment. This brief volume may help grandchildren everywhere get a jump on the competition, if not on life itself. We can always hope that they might pass some of these stories on to their grandchildren, perhaps 50 or 100 years from now. What better legacy?

Spooner has been one of America's leading financial advisers. Now, as his own grandchildren are on the frightening cusp of adulthood, Spooner has chosen to impart his wisdom to them—and to readers everywhere—in the form of old-fashioned letters. This is the book that every grandparent (or parent) has always meant to write for their children, but has never found the time to do so. In No One Ever Told Us That, John D. Spooner carefully crafts a series of essential life lessons that every young person just out of college or high school needs to read before they embark upon their own life's adventures. Told in friendly and reassuring tones, Spooner relates wonderful stories to illustrate and gently guide the next generation of what they can expect when searching for a job, how to know if you've found the right spouse, insights on how to plan for one's financial future, how the internet has changed our lives, dealing with adversity in life, and much, more more. No One Ever Told Us That condenses all of this key information into one volume—and it's presented in a clear-eyed way that only a loving grandparent can.

We are about to have more "senior citizens" in this country than ever before. Products, advertising, entertainment, and services are becoming more focused on this older generation. It is a wonderful time to grow older. Yes, our world is being transformed around us faster than ever, and we need to evolve with it. Men have learned to change diapers, and women can be construction workers. We have exchanged household help for food processors, cooking for take-out, and leisurely dining for fast foods. We used to read more, listen to the radio, and write letters; now we watch TV, talk on the telephone, and fax. It is written that there is "a time to weep and a time to laugh." The trick is to know which one to do when. Given a choice, let's go with the laughter." --
