A mate of mine once said to me that courage came from knowing when your number was up and not fighting it. On the contrary, he added, that to fight on showed a sad lack of courage. His unhappy relationship with his father, I gathered, may have contributed to this flawed logic.


Later he was to suffer an acute heart attack that almost claimed his life. Suffice to say, he found the courage to fight on and lives to this day, happy.

This book showed all the courage one needs to push on through misfortune. An inspirational book that looks at life in a way most can only imagine.
