Unique Educational and Motivational Resource
The Holland Avenue Boys: A Success Story by Howard E. Fischer (with Teachers'-Facilitators' Guide, Pointers for Parents, and Holland Avenue Boys’ Creed) is based on the acclaimed film of the same name that played on over 50 PBS stations around the country (http://www.A1documentaries.com).
This is a different kind of success story -
Success is not always about wealth or fame. For most, success is achieved through personal growth, satisfying careers, comfortable lifestyles and rewarding relationships.
It is hoped that this book will change some habits, nudge people of all ages in the right direction and encourage them to explore ways to make their lives successful. Success stories teach success!
· One man's daughter proudly proclaimed that her father could "read a book and build a house." (He did.)
· Another was told by his high school guidance counselor that he should not try to become an engineer because it was difficult for those in his ethnic group to get such jobs at that time - even though he had built the Eiffel Tower out of toothpicks at the age of 9.
· One man helped develop the granola bar and Uncle Ben's Rice after he almost didn't make it through college.
· Another man founded a museum of jazz even though he never played a lick.
· One of the Boys became a distinguished cancer doctor even after having been diagnosed with a debilitating muscle disease.
· A college dropout became a decorated jet pilot in the Viet Nam war, U.S. Presidents' travel advance man and Air Attaché to Morocco, where his daughter played at the palace with the niece of the King.
· One of the Boys became a world-renowned physicist - in Israel, but passed away before his time.
· Another built a newspaper about antiques and collectibles topping 40 pages and 292 advertisers without any employees.
· One man loved his wife so much that he married her twice!
…and much more!
