Awesome!

One of my prized possessions outside of family items is my BOOK of Awesome. One difficult Summer, my staff bought me the “Book of Awesome”. Although the book was AWESOME, it was what the staff wrote on the inside cover that was most powerful.

I was most excited when Neil, the author of “the Book of Awesome” was the keynote of SHAD CUP 2013. His keynote was good, but more impressive was the way he dealt with the very large line of book signings. He took the time to ask questions and tried to help. One girl talked about a tough time and Neil took the time to chat and make her feel better. Every person felt that he was concerned for them. His coloured markers were a hit.

I had a chance to talk to him over supper. He gave me some good advice. He noticed that I did not really want to write a book, I just wanted to have a book. He suggested a TED talk and should it take off, then someone would write my book for me.  AWESOME!!
