TODAY’S BLOG

It’s Wednesday!!  Time for “Excerpts From My Books.”

I have written seven non-fiction books and one children’s fiction book.  I’ve just released my eighth one.  My mission statement is:  “I write books that inspire people on their journey to make this world a better place.”  You can read the preview and reviews for all my books athttp://www.GoodShortBooks.com.

Every Wednesday, I will share an excerpt from one of my books.  I hope you will enjoy it.  Writers really appreciate comments from their readers, so please leave a comment on my blog!  Thank you!

 

In July 2010, my entrepreneur coach, Davette Harvey, gave me an assignment to create 30-60 of my own quotes.  I was really intimidated and didn’t know if I could do it.  I have since discovered that I often speak and think in quotes.  I now have 169 of my own quotes, which I have put together in my latest book. . .

 

My Simple Quotes to Live By
by Joyce Fields

NEVER LOSE YOUR HOPE AND FAITH.

I coined this, my first quote, in 1959 at the age of 15.  The occasion was my middle school graduation from Detroit’s Sherrard Junior High School.  Ninth graders were asked to document their message to their fellow classmates.

Little did I know that, 51 years later, Davette would give me an assignment to create my own quotes.

Indeed, God does work in mysterious ways!!

 PLEASE GOD, AND EVERYTHING ELSE WILL FALL INTO PLACE.

*******

HATING HARMS THE ONES WHO HATE MORE THAN IT HARMS THE HATED.

 *******

GOOD HUMAN RELATIONS IS THE STUFF FROM WHICH PEACE IS MADE.

*******

AS LONG AS YOU DON’T VIOLATE ANYONE ELSE’S RIGHTS OR PROPERTY, AND TREAT OTHERS FAIRLY, YOU’RE DOING OKAY.

*******

 TEACHERS SHOULD HAVE THE HIGHEST PAY BECAUSE THEY TEACH US ALL.

*******

COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS.  MILLIONS OF PEOPLE WOULD LOVE TO TRADE THEIR PROBLEMS FOR YOURS.
