What if you are born with no barriers in life? You never experience racial prejudice, extreme poverty, or lack of education. Your parents provided responsible guidance and support; opportunity was abound. What if you took that scenario and really worked hard? What if you pushed forward to see how far these perfect circumstances could take you? What if you accepted an unwritten responsibility to make a change in the world; to leave your mark? Retired businessman Michael Anthony takes you on his journey of self-discovery, exploring deep rooted opinions, and the logical path for the future and survival of Mankind. Anthony directs us to first establish whats important in life, before we set our lifetime goals. Living life with a true purpose can be the secret to your happiness; understanding the virtues can be mans common thread. Every experience in life, both good and bad, has a lesson. New author, Michael Anthony explores many of his amazing life experiences in search of their true meanings. Educated, and retired at the age of 42, Anthony again finds himself in a world of no boundaries, no barriers, free to think, reflect, and to make a change. Whats important in life can only be revealed when we acknowledge our own immortality. Time is our greatest asset; how we spend it determines our true selves.

Autoren-Profil

Anthony, a novelist and historian, avoids the social and the polemic in his novels; his work is a skillful recreation of the rural experiences of his youth in a style that avoids the excesses of political commitment and of avant-gardism. The Year in San Fernando (1965) is an ironic, first-person narrative of a twelve-year-old boy's experiences of a year in the city. Anthony's novels, such as The Games Were Coming (1963) and Green Days by the River (1967), focus more on problems in human relationships among friends, family members, and lovers than on problems of exile or identity. His historical works, especially his history of Trinidad, reveal a careful, sensitive historian.
