The Strongest Armour, the Sharpest Word

By J.M. Jimenez

Many of us have roles as employee, spouse, sibling, friend, or otherwise that never meet. Because of the way we established them, they remain separate. The Strongest Armor, the Sharpest Word tells us about the things we know butfor whatever reasonnever do. This book is a twenty-year project that comes from listening to those reasons from thousands of people just like you and me. My goal is that this book will help you bridge that gap, create inner peace, and have the confidence to simplify your life. I hope it helps you through whatever curve life throws you as it has helped many, including me. Thank you.

J.M. Jimenez

The author was born in the late 1960s and grew up in the small Arizona town of Eloy. Like many energetic and ambitious young men, he wanted to challenge the world at a young age. But he found out that maturity can’t be rushed; it only comes through experience. He then found his place in sales and business management. Through his many travels and work situations, he learned about himself and learned from the many people he listened to. After teaching thousands of individuals, he learned that the greatest skill one could obtain is the true art of listening. [e-mail]

Inner strength is not

taught. It’s observed.

This project is

dedicated to my mother. However, I would like to dedicate it to her in more detail than I see in most dedications.

My mom is respected because of the random, unsolicited acts of kindness she performs on a daily basis. Her religious commitment is also a lesson for us all.

However, the main reason I dedicate this book to her is because of what she’s given my brothers and me. She had high expectations of us and put structure in our lives. She disciplined us to correct our negative acts. I strongly value this influence on my life.

If my mother had not directed me in this way, I am sure I would not have been able to accomplish half of the things I have in my life or understand why I did.

So, thank you, Mom, for all your direction, support, and love. I love you!

Thank you, Mom, for everything.

I love you!

Author’s Note

When writing about emotions and ever-changing experiences with them, the project can become endless. Life and its experiences are turbulent and unpredictable at every stage, making them seem insurmountable.

My hope is that we are never afraid to
