    About this ebook

    You know — at (70) I've hung around long enough to live a respected three-score-and-ten years. During my venture through life, I've manages to garner a bit of wisdom.

    What I'm endeavoring with this publication, is to pass on some of that wisdom to young black males, actually, all young males, so that they might not make the same mistakes I had.

    Between these covers I will discuss such subjects as why and how to treat others, how to listen to your first mind, the value of honesty, why to avoid gangs, the tragedy of youth suicide, the value of perseverance and respect, and many more subjects.

    My hope is to talk to youngsters as if I'm a trusted father. I'm hoping that, maybe, a few who read this collection of loosely connected thoughts might think about subjects they may not have previously pondered — maybe discover a solution to a problem they might be encountering.

    Marsell Morris

    Marsell was born in Detroit Michigan in the year of... well, a good while ago. After graduating from Cass Technical High School, Marsell went to work for the Chrysler Corporation as a conveyor loader. Shortly after beginning his employment with Chrysler, he married, and fathered three children. Thirty-one years later, and after having gained the position of production supervisor, he retired at fifty.After retiring, he began playing golf everyday and all day. Having lowered his handicap to near scratch, and winning a tournament at even par, and behind a debilitating injury, he was unable to continue playing. He had a lot of free time on his hands, whereupon, he took up writing as a hobby and time killer and discovered he had talent for spinning a yarn.After pounding out eleven urban fictions, covering everything from drug use, prostitution, gang crime, murder, and romance/erotica, and having always been a science fiction fan from his teenage years, he thought he’d try his hand at writing a Sci-Fi tail, which culminated in his first work “Alien Plot - First Contact” now retitled "Alien Offensive - Nanobot Storm" and its four sequels, and which, at one time before he ran into problems with its publisher, was considered good fodder for production as a movie, not because he is such a great writer, but because of its unique, previously unexplored, plot.He still lives in Detroit, and being a compulsive writer, he spends most of his time wearing out his fourth keyboard replacement, while pursuing what he loves doing — writing more tails with unique story lines.

      Preface

      Okay, let's get something clear from the beginning — I am not writing this collection of loosely connected thoughts while attempting to preach to the young black males. First, they will not listen, and second, at seventy years young, I am not pretending to know all there is about the lives of today's youngsters.

      What I am attempting, however, is to throw out a few common sense thoughts that might, in some small way, expose youngster to things they might not have given thought to — life's lessons I have learned and still learning. As a matter of fact, a lot of what I'll expound will apply to older folks, also, and I'll try to be brief.

      Surely, at some time in your life, you must have heard the saying, and I don't know who first said it, so don't ask, but the saying goes something like this,
