How to Become a Strong Person and Build a Good Life - Paperback

by James Wegert (Author)

"Using the tools in this book can help a person to build a good life." Written by a school counselor who started school at age 4 and was periodically bullied up until 9th grade, HOW TO BECOME A STRONG PERSON AND BUILD A GOOD LIFE communicates in a down-to-earth encouraging manner important information about the tools needed to become a strong person (character, attitude, responsibility, effort, and self-control). It also explains how to use the five tools to build a good life by dealing with negative people in a positive way and by making good choices through respect for your job (which for young people is to be a student), others, and yourself. Over seventy true short stories (some humorous, some sad, some gut-wrenching, some inspiring) bring the book to life and help to illustrate the main points. (Since about fifteen of these stories are intense, and are only appropriate for ages 15 and up, they have been placed in a special section near the end of the book.) The book was written primarily to help students and young adults become more successful academically, personally, and socially. It can also be used by parents and grandparents as they teach their children and grandchildren how to become strong people.
