Book Synopsis Nine Lessons I Learned from My Father by : Murray Howe
Download or read book Nine Lessons I Learned from My Father written by Murray Howe and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2017-10-31 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A GLOBE AND MAIL BESTSELLER As a child, Murray Howe wanted to be like his father. He was an adult before he realized that didn't necessarily mean playing hockey. Gordie Howe may have been the greatest player in the history of hockey, but greatness was never defined by goals or assists in the Howe household. Greatness meant being the best person you could be, not the best player on the ice. Unlike his two brother, Murray Howe failed in his attempt to follow in his father's footsteps to become a professional athlete. Yet his failure brought him to the realization that his dream wasn't really to be a pro hockey player. His dream was to be his father. To be amazing at something, but humble and gracious. To be courageous, and stand up for the little guy. To be a hero. You don't need to be a hockey player to do that. What he learned was that it was a waste of time wishing you were like someone else. When Gordie Howe passed away in 2016, it was Murray who was asked to deliver the eulogy. Nine Lessons I Learned from My Father takes the reader through the hours Murray spent writing the words that would give shape to his father's leagcy--the hours immediately after his hero's death, as he gathers his thoughts and memories, and makes sense of what his remarkable father meant to him. The result is nine pieces of wisdom, built out of hundreds of stories, that show us the man behind the legend and give us a glimpse of what we can learn from this incredible life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I know in my heart that man is good. That what is right will always eventually triumph. And there's purpose and worth to each and every life." —Ronald Reagan Noted political commentator Michael Reagan, the son of Ronald Reagan and first wife Jane Wyman, has traveled across America, giving speeches and meeting the public. Time and time again, people tell him how much they love and miss his father, and what his presidency meant to them. In a world where role models are few and far between, Ronald Reagan’s legacy stands strong. In Lessons My Father Taught Me, Michael Reagan looks back over his years with his father and reflects on what he has learned from the greatest man he has ever known—and one of the greatest men the world has known. When Michael was growing up, his father would drive him out to his ranch. There Ronald Reagan taught Michael how to ride a horse, how to shoot a gun, and much more. As they drove together or did chores together, Michael’s father told him stories and taught him about life, love, family, faith, success, and leadership. Michael didn’t fully appreciate those lessons at the time, but years later he remembered—and he understood. Now, Michael Reagan shares his father’s wisdom and experience in this inspiring book.
Book Synopsis Life Lessons from My Father by : John Fouts Gardenhire
Download or read book Life Lessons from My Father written by John Fouts Gardenhire and published by . This book was released on 2006-02-28 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life Lessons from My Father is a presentation of sayings that my father used as he raised the three of us in Mud Town, Topeka's own black ghetto. The sayings were designed to provide us with the personal and social skills that he understood were required for kids like us to function comfortably individually and publicly. He worked, grounding each of us in our own self-esteem. He lived to see the effect of his efforts, and he was pleased. Customer Review Hal Lockard, The Capital-Journal A former Topekan appeased his daughter by compiling an anecdotal collection of his father's sayings and how they applied to everyday situations. The result can benefit parents and children both. Life Lessons From My Father: Things Dad Used to Say by John Fouts Gardenhire, a 1951 graduate of Topeka High School, turns out to be a historic review of one black family's experience in Topeka's "Mud Town." Fouts grew up with a brother and sister under the guidance of Shirley Richard Gardenhire at 807 Wood in East Topeka. His book reveals a lot about the elder Gardenhire's education, occupation and optimistic views on life. The project began with a telephone call from Alissa, his daughter in Maplewood, N.J., who told him, "Dad, I want to talk to you." "And when a kid says that it means either they're in jail or they need money," Gardenhire said. He was relieved to learn that she wanted the two of them to write a book recalling of phrases his father and her grandfather, would say. "She talked, and I wrote," Gardenhire said. The finished product came out in about six months, and 19 publishers rejected it before Xlibris put in print in February. The end result is pared down to about 35 sayings, but he offers an additional 25 or so in an addendum for readers wanting more. It's all good advice. Shirley Richard Gardenhire was born in 1891 in Alma, graduated from Kansas State College in Manhattan and worked for the Santa Fe Railway until retiring. He died in Seattle in the 1970s, and his obituary wasn't published in Topeka. The author graduated from The University of Kansas in 1958 and taught English for many years at Laney College in Oakland, Calif. He moved to Maplewood, N.J., to live near Alissa and his grandson. "If there is any kind of heaven after this, it will be peopled with grandchildren," he says. Among the sayings that are treated with explanatory anecdotes are "Read the newspaper," "Be on time," "Study Latin," "Discipline your children" and "It's a poor dog that won't wag his own tail." It makes for easy reading that can be handled a little at a time or all once. Amazon gives it a five-star rating, and it can be ordered from Barnes and Noble Booksellers or Borders Books and Music. "Its something I hope people not only will enjoy but will learn something from it," he said. It's something expectant fathers might want to take a look at. Publisher
