Life’s Little Lessons Too, a Proper Life with a Career [EPUB ebook] 

This book is the second in a series of the lessons learned during my life. The first volume, Life’s Little Lessons–with Some Not So Little was primarily situated during my adolescent years up until I started college. It was about those experiences that we all most likely encounter in our own way during those developmental years. This second book starts off where the first one ended, extending my lessons learned developing my professional career. As in the first volume, the individuals you interact with all around you–plus the social, physical, and clearly professional environments you live in–all impact who you are now and who you will become in the future.

While these lessons collectively are all unique influences in your personal development, it turns out these factors are only part of a set of what I refer to as lessons that everyone is exposed to and allowed to integrate into their personality at their choosing. Together, they essentially become the building blocks of your existence and help to determine how well you will, and can, participate in your ever-changing social and professional environments.

These lessons are among a common set where each will be experienced by the majority of us in a unique randomized order, further individualizing each of us since no two individuals experience the same things in the same ways at the same times. Fortunately, it is in this myriad of possible experiential events and our interpretations that help create the depth of our professional presence and, as such, collectively for the overall population, the enhancement and continued survival of our species.

It is in the responses and reactions created through our experienced stories where we learn to understand who we really are and how best we are to live and work in the complex and interwoven environments that we exist in. This book consists of a series of short stories, lessons that impacted my life and the lives of the many others that came in contact with or participated in these stories. It is hoped that reading this book will help the reader realize the importance of these lessons and how attention to their details in your own life will enhance and encourage your continued professional and social development.
