Thank You
They asked a dervish, “What is the wisdom of a dervish?”
Dervish, “To be patient when he has nothing,
To give thanks when he has something.”
You spoke well brother dervish, but the important thing is this:
“To be patient when you have nothing,
To be able to share when you have something.”
There are two types of writers, the active writer and the passive writer. Those who write books are active writers, those who have a part in writing the book, knowingly or not, are the passive writers.
First and foremost to my family, to those who have shared their knowledge and experience, to all I have had the opportunity to know and to those I haven’t met, and to those who have contributed to this book intentionally or unknowingly, I extend my heartfelt gratitude.
