50 Key Questions Only We The People Can Answer

By Stanley Bronstein

Stanley Bronstein believes the America our founding fathers helped create in the 18th century is in very serious trouble. If America continues on its present course of action it cannot survive.

Despite that dire prediction, Stanley Bronstein believes there is hope; that it is not too late.

In Part I of this book, Stanley lays out thirteen truths (one for each of the colonies) about America that he believes to be self-evident.

In Part II, he discusses fifty vital questions about ourselves and our country that We the People MUST ask, and answer. It is in our answers that we will find the solutions to our problems.

If we do, there is hope. If we do not, all hope is lost.

_____________________________

This book is the direct result of my having walked in all fifty states of the United States of America, over a sixty-nine day period, spanning from August through October 2010.  I can think of no other period in my life when I experienced so much in so short a time.  The people I met and the things I experienced changed my life.

After walking all fifty states, I'm more convinced than ever that despite all its problems, the United States of America is quite resilient.  I'm convinced we can accomplish anything, IF we use our time, energy and resources appropriately.

For these reasons, I dedicate this book to:

We The People

of the United States of America

The 15 Concepts of Excellence

_____________________________

This book, like all the books in the Book A Week Writing Challenge series is based upon the 15 Concepts of Excellence, as detailed in my 2019 book – How To Create Your Excellent Life.

A free digital copy of How To Create Your Excellent Life can be downloaded at this link.

As a reference guide for you to use as you read this book, here is a list of the 15 Concepts of Excellence, along with their related sub-parts (The 15 Untils, The 15 Laws and the 15 Benefits).

I have created short 3 to 4 minute videos, for your benefit, on each of the 15 Concepts, as well as a Goal Setting Workshop. They can be viewed by clicking the blue links below.

Introduction To The 15 Concepts Of Excellence

The 15 Untils

The 15 Laws

The 15 Benefits

Concept #1 - Learning To Tell It Like It Is

Until #1 - Until We Tell It Like It Is

Until we start telling it like it is and then begin adjusting our actions accordingly, we will never achieve our maximum potential and evolve as a species.

Law #1 - The Law Of Actuality

No living person or system can remain in existence for very long without first having arrived at a level of full, realistic awareness of their own existence, sensations, thoughts and surroundings and then responding accordingly after having done so.

Benefit #1 - Living In The Real World

By incorporating Law #1 - The Law of Actuality into our lives, we will be creating a society where its members truthfully and accurately assess and acknowledge their situation, and as a result, begin acting appropriately.

Concept #2 - Adopting Long-Term Thinking

Until #2 - Until We Adopt Long-Term Thinking

Until we adopt long-term thinking and start focusing less on short-term gratification, we will never achieve our maximum potential and evolve as a species.

Law #2 - The Law Of The Long-Term

Repeated short-term discipline brings long-term rewards. Consequently, one must place reasonable limits on short-term pleasures, with the understanding long-term benefits will be the result.

Benefit #2 - Living In A Sustainable World

By incorporating Law #2 - The Law of the Long-Term into our lives, we will be creating a society based upon principles that are sustainable over the long-term, as opposed to an unsustainable society that
