“Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other thing.”
Abraham Lincoln
What made you decide to write this book?
I thought it was high time we paid tribute to the people who work “behind the scenes,” even though we generally see them in plain sight every day. Truth be told, they are everywhere. Next time you are out and about, really look around you. You may be surprised at all the different kinds of work being performed to keep our cities and towns, and our lives, operating smoothly.
In addition to the occupations you write about, are there others that deserve our thanks?
Virtually all of us contribute to the fabric of society. Consider, for example, the supermarket cashier who, day in and day out, scans and rings up all the items we purchase. Or the doorman, who meets and greets visitors and residents. Or the waiter, waitress, or busboy who serve us and clean up after us. Then there is the postal worker who delivers our mail in all kinds of weather. Without all their work and dedication, where would we be now?
What do you see as the overriding theme of the book?
“Rich or poor, celebrated or unknown, beyond considerations of race, color, education, and other superficial factors, we contribute to the broad mosaic of life on planet Earth. We are, each of us, a worthwhile person in more ways than a million.
Have you personally worked in any of these occupations?
“I worked as a welder, a shipbuilder, and a housing inspector. I received my certification in radio and TV electronics from National Technical Schools in Los Angeles.
As the youngest of 13 children from Jamaica, West Indies – now a proud U.S. citizen – I believe this is the land of opportunity. I’m now a successful entrepreneur with my own company: SWJ Enterprises. I’ve learned that EVERY occupation is worthy and we all contribute to life in our own way.” =>Yes!
