As a parent, how many times have you laid in bed and wondered, "Are my children listening to me? Is the message resonating? Will they recall these lessons on their journey through life?"

This book reveals that children do listen and that words from our parents truly matter. Whether it is a quick reminder or a message delivered a thousand times, I can personally attest that the words from the Wise ring loudly in my head just when I need them and even when I don't!

This treasured collection of conversations, lectures, text messages, emails, and hand-written notes may pleasantly surprise or remind you of things your parents and grandparents have told you. And if nothing else, for parents, it is decades of proof that children listen, absorb, and retain your words to apply them to daily life. Keep instilling knowledge; we are listening!

Wise, Keith

Some call it an autobiography but in Keith Wise's words, it is "A Life Full Of Miracles." The first miracle was that I was born on June 4th, 1951in Freedman's Hospital (now Howard University Hospital) in Washington, DC. My parents were Roberta and Dr. Henry A. Wise, Jr. The two individuals were role models for me and many others throughout my lifetime. Mom was short of stature, full of love, elegant in her mannerisms, and a force to be reckoned with if you messed with her husband, her family, or her money. She was from Leavenworth, Kansas. Pop was from Cape Charles, Virginia and he became a Tuskegee Fighter Pilot. I attended Oberlin College from 1969-1971. (Fun fact, we won the OAC Conference in 1969 and Oberlin has not won since). I transferred to The University of Maryland in 1974 graduating with a BA in Psychology. While there I served as President of the University Commuters Association in 1973 representing 80%of the student population of 35,000 students. In 1980, I started with my first of many positions with Amtrak. Life led me back to my roots where I joined IKON Office Solutions followed by Toshiba and Canon, where I was quickly recognized as #1.
