Words of Encouragement

Whether you are a parent, school teacher, bus driver, plumber, fast food worker or Corporate Executive Officer (CEO), this book is designed to "fit" into your busy schedule. Within its framework are the necessary tools to unscramble the many "questions" that life so often flings your way. FIVE MINUTES EACH MORNING; that's all the time that you need-just five minutes. This equates to 1,830 minutes or 6.5 hours a year! A small investment considering we spend an average of 45 minutes a day or 4.5 hours each week shopping. You will notice two symbols before each days reading ( ). These are Chinese logograms or Hanzi (simplified Chinese) representing "encouragement". When I found out that Chinese characters constitute the oldest continuously used system of writing in the world, I knew I had stumbled across something both purposeful and nostalgic.
