Inspiration with a Chuckle

By James W. Haworth

When Jim Haworth graciously donated the first 4 books to me that hed written I was delightfully thrilled. Prior to that Id already been receiving almost daily e-mails with his ongoing wacky/witty tidbits of information. On the very rare occasional times when I didnt receive one Id become a bit depressed because I had begun to look forward to getting them nearly everyday of the week. He told me that many would just pop into his head at all times during the day and night so I found this to be intriguing.

The more that these e-mails came the more they began to grow more popular with me. So many of them always seemed to ring home true representations of many types of situations that we all have happening in our lives on a normal daily basis. Just reading them on an almost daily basis actually added a sort of unexplainable lift to my usual normal routine daily life.

It was good when he recognized that by placing the printed material into varying other places upon the pages as well as adding black and white pictures interspersed within the chapter titles it added much more interest to the written material placement positions within the chapter titles. As I would turn each page Id find my self trying to guess where the printed material will be placed and wondering if a black and white picture would be appearing to reinforce the particular subject matter being given? I hope with his 5th book that this kind of placement of the material on the pages as well as the pictures will continue. I feel that by having made those 2 big adjustments it has added an additional kind of joy and harmony to what he is trying to say to his readers.

I feel that so many of his wacky/witty sayings will help others get through whatever kinds of problems they might be facing because they are so down to earth true sayings. All age groups will find inspiration in these sayings and this does include children as well as teenagers because they are just appealing in nature. The reader is able to easily grasp the concepts as theyre written in short statements of common sense everyday language that can be rapidly read from page to page.

James W. Haworth

Mr. Haworth was born in Arbuckle, California, in 1941. He lived in many states in what you might call an eclectic life. With eight brothers from his parent’s various marriages, he quickly learned how to deal with life’s challenges. After graduating from a Quaker college with a biology degree and a minor in religion, Jim went to work in the medical field. After a short stint working in a mental hospital, he began work at St. Vincent Hospital in Indianapolis, becoming deeply involved with the growing field of ultrasound in its various iterations, including cardiology, neurology, obstetrics, gynecology, and vascular technology. A fifty-year career in the medical field coupled with life in diverse parts of the country makes him uniquely qualified to present an array of short but to the point thoughts on living life and enjoying it while pursuing success. In 1984, he discovered his talent for writing when he bought his first Macintosh computer. He began seriously writing his short thoughts and sci-fi stories around 1999, delving into poetry a few years later. In this way, he began to express his positive thoughts on life. For several years, he gathered them together, presenting them to his children at Christmas time. In 2006, he organized his writings and published his first inspirational book. He’s been at it ever since. This is book number five. Book six is already under way.
