O knihe

Growing up in extreme poverty in the Philippines, author Ning
Samson's hunger for knowledge earns her an opportunity to save her
family from poverty when she is granted a Catholic missionary
scholarship to attend primary school. Without this help, she cannot
afford the education she hopes for, since school is not free in her native
country.

Samson spends long hours studying, through years of personal
sacrifice, determined to earn full scholarships to finance her schooling.
She graduates summa cum laude from college at the age of eighteen
with a bachelor of science degree in business education. But along with
her success comes hardship as well. The miracles she experiences after
suffering from uterine cancer, nearly dying in a car accident, getting
divorced, and being homeless, abused, and discriminated against teach
her that life is worth fighting for. Samson learns to celebrate each
moment and believes that a positive outlook can turn a bitter life into
a better life.

Each quote, verse, poem, and story in Life's Long Journey: 10 Practical
Lessons for Living a Successful, Positive Life-Everyday will keep you in
touch with your inner self in the midst of overwhelming challenges.
Samson's inspiring journey of hope, love, and faith encourages you to
reach your potential in the midst of trials and tribulations.
