"Help others achieve their dreams and you will achieve yours," by Les BrownPlease, before you read this book don't judge if you don't know me. Maybe when you have read this book you may want to criticise what I have written. Even then I don't think you will fully understand, because I don't even understand myself sometimes. Because I live with bipolar disorder a chronic condition that apparently affects over 1% of the population. It's a condition that has plagued me with a black cloud of depression most of my life, I believe.My story will take you from the streets of America as a young boy to a discovery in the jungle of India to an enlightenment and maturity of the present day in England.It's a truthful account about my experience combined with a street philosophy as a way of looking at life with open eyes. Some of the stories I shall tell may shock or question your belief but try to keep an open mind. We all have that survival instinct so let your mind free and become a survivor.As we travel through my life looking at fate, luck, love, money and many more interesting subjects you will find the philosophy that should be helpful in your life. Out of every negative comes some positives; its natures balance. Be careful what you wish for though, because as you will see dreams do come true. I will show you how poor decisions can have lasting affects and how mistakes we make sometimes show us the path we must lead. I wish I didn't make so many mistakes but then the saying goes "it is said that only a fool learns from his own mistakes, a wise man from the mistakes of others, "an anonymous quote. Now, don't go jumping of a bridge, though, that's not a bad idea, only joking.To me it seems that we all strive constantly for more each day, whether that's more material wealth or just a better understanding of who we are and why we are here. Yet, when we depart this world we leave with nothing of earthly value.The only real worth is the love we have encountered in our life. This book is about love and finding who we really are. The kind of philosophy and experience I have learnt will possibly help you in your life, I sincerely hope so.How I came to write this book is some ways is the result of being hospitalised. No. Not because I was writing a book that happened later. I mean the computer didn't blow up and put me in hospital, although at times I have felt like chucking my laptop straight out the window. I have less patience now with computers than a dog on heat.You can call me Tony, so let the story begin...
