Book Description
The westward movement holds a special place in many American hearts. Within the bindings of this book lie stories of struggles and sacrifices. Adversity and adventure. Love and laughter. Life and death. Our story begins with one such man in old age sharing stories to his grandson of what it cost his family to help tame the American West and build for the future. Within his stories lies firsthand accounts of the days of old. The old west when the west was really wild. Of friends and foes, outlaws and Indians. From poverty to prosperity. Gallant and heroic acts of survival and sacrifice. Last but not least herein lies the story of a man and his horse. He and this magnificent stallion both faster in more ways than one ride off into folklore and legend with a massive fortune of gold and seven outlaws hot on they're trail. As a dark silhouette sat motionless in the saddle of life upon his tall dark horse in the light of a full moon. High on a bald hill he sat, "silent," "patiently waiting," casting a soft shadow on the hard ground below. The only peace this silhouette would find would only be found by his own admission. "At the point of dying."

Pages : 160
Book Description
We are all being presented with a crucial choice on a daily basis—evolve or repeat. Remember when you were a kid, and your mom or dad or grandmother or aunt—whoever raised you—either did it for you or helped you pack your lunch box for school. Maybe you still do the same thing today when you are preparing to head out to work or school. Regardless, there is something that is so beautiful in that process that applies to everything that you will find in the pages of this book. Try and visualize the connection to such a simple activity and how it applies to the life that you are creating for yourself this very day. Like preparing your lunch box for the day ahead and the physical nutrition it will bring, you can and should do the same thing from a mental, emotional, and spiritual standpoint. If you want the absolute best day, then you need to prepare yourself for the thoughts you will allow into your mind, the emotions and behavior of others that you will allow into your heart, and the people and circumstances that you will allow access to your spirit. What’s it going to be? Do you want to evolve beyond your current situation and circumstances, or do you want to continue to repeat lessons you’re just so tired of seeing become a reality in your life? Today, and every day ahead, you get to decide. To be a legend in your own lunch box and in life involves dedication, practice, taking a very long look at yourself, and making the determined decision to change. It won’t always be an easy road, but here’s a truth that you can hold on to. Your life will improve exponentially! When you take the time and develop the strong habit of preparing your “lunch box,” you can accomplish extraordinary things, and the landscape that you can actively create for your life will drastically change. Try it. See how you evolve. I dare you!

In My Time
Author: Charles Willingham
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 0595429300
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 694
Book Description
Author Charles E. Willingham always said he would achieve millionaire status before he turns sixty years old. At the age of fifty-nine-one day before his sixtieth birthday-Willingham achieves his lofty goal. But it was a long, hard road. Born in 1939, Willingham grows up in Texas picking cotton, feeding chickens, and graduating at the bottom of his high school class. But he soon catapults to the big time, becoming a U.S. Air Force Cold War spy, nearly getting shot down by Russian MIGs, and landing in the middle of the Cuban Missile Crisis and the building of the Berlin Wall. After the Cold War, Willingham creates hardware at Cal-Tech to measure the cosmic microwave fields emitted from the theoretical Big Bang, and then helps develop the country's first weather satellites at Ford Aerospace. But it is when he enters the relatively new field of computer technology that he eventually makes his fortune working for computer software magnate Bill Gates. With a host of laugh-out-loud escapades, In My Time is a classic rags-to-riches story and a vivid chronicle of one man's life in the twentieth century. A rollicking rollercoaster ride around the world and back, it is also a tale of Willingham's rugged individualism and hard-earned wisdom.
