I just finished listening to this delightful book of an exemplar man; and I’m anxious to see the movie with Tom Hanks . Fred was incredibly consistent between his public and private self; in a good way. 

I enjoyed listening !

1-there’s just one person in the world just like you and I like you just the way you are

2- A gift of a grand piano from his grandma change the way Fred saw him self

3- there’s no contradiction in using a secular tool for religious purpose (his view was the TV the brothers today as the Internet)

4- pray more for other people in the morning before your day starts

5- that which is essential is invisible to the eye - Ralph Waldo Emerson 

6-You can talk to me about anything you want to and I will try to help you in anyway I can

7- Did I help someone in need today and I let them know I was their friend
