Product Information
The inspiring gift of wisdom from a man who refused to let physical disability prevent him from living fully and successfully Born with cerebral palsy, life for Bill Porter presented many challenges. But he was not going to let that get in the way of living a full and enriching life. Told by so many that he was unemployable, Bill was determined to support himself financially and without state disability aid. So began his employment as a door-to-door salesman for the Watkins company - a job that was to see him become their most successful salesperson in the USA. Written by Shelly Brady, a close friend who first worked for Bill as a teenager, this book marks the triumph of an indomitable spirit that knows no limits. TEN THINGS shares with us the story of Bill's life and the valuable lessons Shelly learned from this most remarkable man. The 'ten things' that frame the narrative are simple but powerful gifts of wisdom that can teach us to live profoundly happy and fulfilled lives. Heartwarming and uplifting in the vein of TUESDAYS WITH MORRIE and HANNAH'S GIFT, it is an inspiration to all of us moving through life without disability, but with perhaps greater resistance to living fully.Product Identifiers
