rf, thank you for those needed words of wisdom. You will surely have more success than I in conveying the message. The Carnegie book is essentially a guide for living life. A tattered copy was given to me at age 15 by a Nazi concentration camp survivor who I worked for one summer. What prompted him to give me the copy was my question of how he had such great spirts after losing his entire family and moving penniless to Canada after the war. Too bad his health was compromised by that time and he passed on a few years later.
