This book has been written to illustrate the important questions we should all ask, and the things we should learn to assist us to advance in wisdom and maturity as we grow. I trust that you, the reader, will gain help from these ideas gained during my lifetime. There is something here for everyone. Things I would like to have known before I began the great journey of life. How to live well and mature into adulthood, find a job, choose a spouse, and start a family.

I believe you will find some help in these pages, if not right now, then on some future day when you need guidance to deal with the great battle of life. This has been my motivation, to share the information I have gathered over my lifetime. The true to life stories I have added I trust will be of use to you as illustrations of some of the facts in this book. If you learn from the wisdom I have discovered over the years, you will hopefully be saved from some mistakes and indeed gain success and happiness in life. If so, then you will have a more contented existence and a happier family life. Your children will thank you and be grateful that you have studied to make their everyday experience easier for them in their growing up years.
