This book contains a collection of my quotes, words, and speeches of impact. I refer to parts or all of each speech as I engage with students. The words and patterns are written as they are sometimes spoken to the receiver. I have included a few poems that have had a tremendous success with students. In many cases poems are less confrontational to the receiver but just as effective. This is one of my favorite books because I know more importance of words and their impact to motivate all students... "Overcome" the audio cd adds life to the books as well... For those of you out there searching to find the missing parent or missing piece...You may find it easier to find a "listening piece." "If you have a Missing Man in your life, then replace him with a Listening Man..". "If you have a Missing Piece, then replace it with a Listening Piece..". Peace forever...Coach Etheridge
