There are certain things in life that are better understood by only those who have been through them. Such include but is not limited to:

1.Giving birth.
2.Being on academic probation
3.Spending time behind bars
4.Loosing a loved one
5.Loosing a job
6.Being betrayed by one least expected
7.Writing a term paper/thesis/dissertation/book

I will highlight number seven above. Busy as we all are,there are not that many people who are willing to take time to write a book on any subject. So when one takes the challenge and writes one, friends and family members can help by first buying the book and then by promoting it.

What friends and family members should avoid is:

1.Criticize just for the sake of it
2.Misleading others
3.Taking the book and ignoring to pay for it. Why! Authors don’t really make money. It takes a lot to publish a book and the authors need every Penny to help them order for more books.

But, perhaps the most important 2 points to recall are:

1.Apply the golden rule in all your dealings with others
2.The best way to prove a point is by you writing a better book on any subject. In this way, you will help other authors to learn from you. Don’t you think so!

Just a thought!
