He’s not only a man of many words, but he’s also believes that an action should always follow our words. He wrote “The Paths that Lie Ahead” for three reasons: #1- Hoping to inspire someone who has given up; #2- To show that every decision we make in life (good or bad) will always have a consequence; and #3- To show that we shouldn’t let our surroundings determine our destiny.
