Book excerpt: Papa Said contains within its pages anecdotes and reflections on the teachings of a loving father and grandfather who some may consider a little old-fashioned. Yet, within Papa's instruction to our children resides the foundation which can help establish healthy homes in today's world. This book includes my reflections and tales of our family's patriarch, the leader and provider who loved us and helped us to find joy and adventure in our days as a growing family. Papa helped us all-his wife and his children-to weather the storms of life through good days and turbulent times. His quiet, subtle way of responding to events in our lives is as appropriate today as it was when Papa was still with us.

Download or read book Papa’s Story written by David Osborne and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2019-11-12 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is 1944, and war is raging in Europe and Japan. Chuck is still in high school but his dream is to join the army and fight the Germans. One day, in the spring of 1944, he was walking on a lonely road and met someone that caused him to have another dream. This dream began when he met Betty Watson, the bank president's daughter. His good fortune began when, by a chance meeting, the Desoto she was driving had a flat tire. Her misfortune became Chuck's continuing desire to marry the girl of his dreams even though she was a few years older than he was. Although the two became good friends, Betty frequently reminded him that she had a boyfriend and that he was serving his country in the military. That information, although disheartening, did not keep Chuck from pursuing her. Betty and Chuck spent weeks together going places such as the bowling alley, the skating rink and the movies, while both insisted they were not dating. Chuck's older sister spilled the beans about the couple to his father who was not thrilled. His father suggested he date girls in school that were closer to his age but to no avail. Chuck had a one-track mind and that one track was Betty. In conversations between them Betty expressed doubt about a commitment from her soldier boyfriend and that was all the encouragement Chuck needed. After avoiding Chuck for several weeks, Betty confided in him that she was pregnant and her boyfriend, Bobby, was the father of the child. The announcement was a blow to him but Chuck was still not ready to give up on marrying her. However, when Betty's parents found out about her pregnancy, they shipped her off to California to have the baby and place it up for adoption. With one dream dimming the other was still very much alive. He graduated from high school and joined the army. Even though the war in Europe was winding down, the war in Japan was still very much alive. Chuck continued to write letters to Betty but at some point, her letters stopped. Chuck's interest in Betty had to be put on the back burner because of his military duties including guarding a brothel in Japan. After his discharge from the army Chuck attempted to rekindle their story but by that time Betty had married the father of her child. Even though he was still in love with Betty, he felt it was time for him to move on with his life. Where would he go from there?

Book excerpt: The Papa Bull is one of those books that come around once in a generation. Previously only available to a secret society of men, The Papa Bull has revolutionized the lives of those who have read it by offering an alternative definition of what it means to be a man. As one reader put it, "most how to books about attracting women give you one liners and party tricks, The Papa Bull on the other hand shows you exactly how to get the girl you want by becoming the man you didn't know you could become." Have you ever wondered why some guys win at life and some guys don't? Have you ever wanted to fully understand women and what they want? Have you ever wanted to get rid of the negative thoughts in your head? Have you ever been rejected and had no idea why? You’re not alone, millions of young men are asking the exact same questions. We live in a society that tells men to act in a way that actually makes women less attracted to them and makes them less successful in life. That means that you might be doing all of the “right” things and you’re still losing when it comes to women and many other things. The author of The Papa Bull, Michael Hirtzel, was lied to growing up as well. He experienced the same pain, rejection, and confusion as you and overcame it with Papa Bull principles given to him by a mentor. He soon realized every time he applied the Papa Bull success followed. Soon his friends were seeking his advise and using the Papa Bull successfully themselves. Equipped with the knowledge of what works, Hirtzel wrote this book so that future readers like you could avoid frustration and pain and most importantly THRIVE IN LIFE. Guys of every age and creed have used the Papa Bull to obtain their goals and dreams, now it’s your turn to become one of them. It is your turn to become a Papa Bull!

Download or read book The Inventors written by Peter Selgin and published by Hawthorne Books. This book was released on 2016-05-16 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the Fall of 1970, at the start of eighth grade, Peter Selgin fell in love with the young teacher who’d arrived from Oxford wearing Frye boots, with long blond hair, and a passion for his students that was as intense as it was rebellious. The son of an emotionally remote inventor, Peter was also a twin competing for the attention and affection of his parents. He had a burning need to feel special. The new teacher supplied that need. Together they spent hours in the teacher’s carriage house, discussing books, playing chess, drinking tea, and wrestling. They were inseparable, until the teacher “resigned” from his job and left. Over the next ten years Peter and the teacher corresponded copiously and met occasionally, their last meeting ending in disaster. Only after the teacher died did Peter learn that he’d done all he could to evade his past, identifying himself first as an orphaned Rhodes Scholar, and later as a Native American. As for Peter’s father, the genius with the English accent who invented the first dollar-bill changing machine, he was the child of Italian Jews—something else Peter discovered only after his death. Paul Selgin and the teacher were both self-inventors, creatures of their own mythology, inscrutable men whose denials and deceptions betrayed the trust of the boy who looked up to them. The Inventors is the story of a man’s search for his father and a boy’s passionate relationship with his teacher, of how these two enigmas shaped that boy’s journey into manhood, filling him with a sense of his own unique destiny. It is a story of promises kept and broken as the author uncovers the truth—about both men, and about himself. For like them—like all of us—Peter Selgin, too, is his own inventor.
