Listening to books



Recently i have rediscovered the joy or listening to books. As I spend a lot of time in the car I have the perfect opportunity to broaden my interlectual horizons. There are two books that I have listened to so far. The first is "Our Sunshine" by Robert Drewe. The second is "First Man". "Our Sunshine" is loosly based on the happenings of Ned Kelly and the Kelly Gang in 18870's. "First Man" tells the story of Niel Armstrong and his jorney to become the firt man on the moon.

It is interesting. Both men found themselves in the riverof life we call history. Both of them sought to achieve in various ways. One of them let circumstance force their hand, while one of them used circumstances to do what could only be dreamed of.
I hope to be a man who will see the value of making the most that circumstances bring.
