Donald Swofford
He is a deep thinking author. He gives us life styles of people working on this planet, which unites us with different ordinary people we meet. Otherwise we would not have met. A look at how, Christian’s should look at working. Not to think of them selfs as slaves, but, to see them selfs as individuals, working for the same cause as there employer. He grew up with blue collar workers, never to know what its like to go to work in an office. To work with your hands, instead of a pen. Whenever he applied for a job, he would tell the employer, I will not work for you, but instead, I will work with you. It made him feel better this way. And increased his chance on getting hired. He didn’t want to feel just like another number. Unlike other authors, who went to colleges, and who holds lots of degrees. He had no chance to go that direction. Instead, He had to do his style of thinking. Self motivating. Just like most of the population on this planet. He always had a home. He always had food. He always had faith. He was never homeless. He always worked hard to help himself, and to help others in need. Never wanted to be drawn in with people telling him, how to think. But, to be an individual.
