New Book: THE EDUCATIONAL PLEDGE QUESTIONS TO SELF-DEVELOPMENT (Edited/Introduction by Solomon Joseph) It is often said that to be great you must overcome many obstacles, that only the strong survive, and that only those who possess the power of the mind, can create success for themselves.  Nothing can be further from the truth when you’re honest with yourself, and when you learn to empower yourself by answering your own questions about life. “The Educational Pledge” is a guide for survival, a book I’ve read and adopted as a guide for myself. It has taught me how education can be used as a tool to further your goals in life. The author, Alberto O. Cappas, has helped me to realize the importance of education and why we need to empower ourselves. The “Educational Pledge”, which is included in this book, is a self-development pledge designed to help us understand how we can begin to empower ourselves. I’ve been confused growing up because I didn’t know which way I was going, and which way I wanted to go. When I read the “Pledge”, I finally found meaning in the type of person I wanted to be. After all these years, I was finally convinced that it’s never too late to make a U-turn. My mission in life is to help educate each other about the world, and how connected we really are. I was fortunate to come across Alberto Cappas, when I picked up a copy of the Latino Village, a publication he co-publishes with his wife, Ramona. I followed up by contacting him, to meet the person responsible for the “Educational Pledge.” He immediately introduced me to his life’s work. and I completely connected with him. I’ve always believed that we are constantly learning and that we can always learn more, especially if we just relax and open our heart. I began to read the Educational Pledge, daily and began answering very deep questions about myself, my goals and how I can establish an example in life. I believe everyone should take the time to reflect on who they are, and what they can become. I have applied the Educational Pledge to my life, and sharing it with others, helps me to empower them, and it gives me great joy. It gives me hope that we can help many others – men, women, and children of all ages, to understand the meaning of their lives. We live in an age where it’s easy to lose track of who we are, and where we’re going and makes many of us feel like it’s too late to get back on track — but it’s not! What you hold in your hands is a guide to help you understand who you are and how you can empower yourself. Please take the time to be grateful for the life you have and for the life you are about to live. Take the Pledge, Empower yourself!
