Readers,There are times in our lives when we really believe we know all that is relevant to live a prosperous and knowledgeable life. As a child we learn the basic manners, how to communicate with one another, and how to make friends. Then one day we wake up at the age of fourteen with the belief that we know it all and that our parents are quite illiterate when in comes to raising us.Next comes the college days when you realize that mom was right and we did not quite know it all, after all. One of the misconceptions about this life is that as we continue to get older and experience more things, the glass we believe is full is constantly being added too, but never seems to run over.The thoughts comprised in this book represents the experiences and ideas of people who have finally come to realize that life is not as easy as we first thought and it has a lot more to offer than we ever believed possible.-Stephanie Elliot
