A Lesson in how to live and work
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This book, written by Williams, tells a story of a quiet, deliberate, tenacious, focused, genius of a man who should join the likes of Martin Luther King, Paul Roberson and Jackie Robinson during Black History month. "The Will and the Way" is inspirational and filled with how-to's that overcame obstacles he encountered time and time again. His story is one of a gentle man who took a natural talent (drawing) and became an amazing architect. An orphan who didn't let adversity hamper his progress or thwart his dreams. His work ethic and preparedness are unmatched by anyone past or present. He defines "Success". This is a story of a man of honor, dignity, integrity, superior intelligence and impeccable taste. His life was rich in extraordinary experiences and his public relation skills were stunning. His ability to draw upside down is the most amazing thing ever!The common sense displayed by Williams and the maintenance man at the cotton mill are comforting. Williams's advice of how to plan your day and the importance of reading, listening and thinking are jewels.Thanks to Karen Hudson for sharing this inspiring story that might have been lost to those of us who love Black History.
