Compilation About Yourself

Compilation About YourselfThe author, J. David Bradford, wanted to write a series of letters that would 'instruct' himself and his audience about themselves as individuals. And he was going to do it in the style of an autobiography, but without the flaws of all those other books that try to 'instruct' others about themselves.This book started out with a question - 'What is our most valued possession?' Bradford begins by listing everything he has ever had that has made him happy. His good friends, his dog, his beautiful wife, his family, and his beautiful children.In an instance similar to John Grisham's book, John was asked what was the most valuable thing he had. He said that his wife and family were the most valuable thing he had. But his wife also counts for something, so he lists his wife, too. And his children are listed.But J. David Bradford realized that his statement on the value of his family wasn't enough to satisfy his readers. What we really want to know, it seems, is 'Wh at is our most valued possession?' And Bradford realizes this, too.Bradford has written a very long book that he hopes will make his readers think about themselves, and how their lives have changed by reading it. He wanted to write this book to provide answers, not just answers. This is a good goal for any writer.But what I found out about myself from this book was that I am a good conversationalist, which is one of my hobbies. But I don't like speaking in public, and I don't really talk to many people, at least not in the way I used to do. There are many ways to communicate in the world. Most of them aren't difficult, and you can learn to do them.But J. David Bradford realized that we can't change what we've been conditioned to be, but we can choose how we respond to it. We can take some time and think about our lives, and what we could have done differently if we had more time. And we can decide what our real values are and then choose how we live our lives.Bradford realizes that all of us were very lucky to be born in the way that we were, and now we can decide how we want to live. And that's a better idea than the old adage that says, 'If you want something, you'll get it.'
