Memorable, Treasureable Words from Many People, Many Places Often we have to remind ourselves that it takes the initiation of an idea by a single person to open windows of possibilities to enhance our lives – that person in the case of this book is Dr Joe Tichio, chiropractor, rock climber, author, website creator, innovator and inspirational speaker. Here is a man who treasures his relationship to his fellowman and uses his thoughts to share meaningful quotations that have been an inspiration to him and to those around him. So whether you put this assemblage of 365 quotes on your Kindle or the paperback version where you can easily access it, `use as directed’ and feel the difference it makes.The quotations are not simply beautiful words that describe nature (yes, some do that, too) but rather they are words uttered by common people and famous people that serve as lampposts along the way of our journey through life. In other words, these quotes illuminate what has perhaps been too long in the shadows for many of us, and it is with a sense of respect – no, love – for Joe that reading them one day at a time we just grow more.For instance, the first quote is from Eleanor Roosevelt: `No one can make you feel inferior without your consent. Never give it.’ Pow! Already you can feel what is going to happen to your spirit as your spend time each day embracing this collection of words, of empowerment. Or quote #15 by Zig Ziglar ` Remember that failure is an event, not a person.’ Or #27, a beauty from John Lennon: `When I was 5 years old, my mom always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down “happy.” They told me I didn’t understand the assignment and I told them they didn’t understand life.’ Or CS Lewis (#45) `You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.’The quotes are from famous people like Picasso, Confucius, Maya Angelou, Albert Schweitzer, Mahatma Gandhi (`You must be the change you wish to see in the world.’), Martin Luther King, Jr., Lao Tzu, Dr. Seuss, a lot of `Unknown’ contributors, Mark Twain, Hermann Hess (`Only the ideas we actually live are of any value’), Woody Allen, Buddha, and a guy named Joe Tichio – #314 – `Your current life is the result of previous choices, if you want something different, begin to choose differently.’At book’s end we are directed to take the quotes one day at a time – or any other way we choose, as long as the quotes linger long enough to give us the opportunity to change or be enhanced. This book is a gift to mankind – and I’d sure like to meet Dr Joe Tichio! Grady Harp, March 13
