Makes for inspiring reading

Derricknyms From A to Z is a straightforward collection of uplifting acronyms and one-line, turbo charged advice for improving the quality of one's life, written by motivational speaker Derrick Hayes. From A.L.O.H.A. ("Always Listen to Others and Help Anyone" - "You can learn something from everyone you meet") to Z.O.O. ("Zoom to Overcome Obstacles" - "There is no problem with moving fast as long as you are in control"), Derricknyms From A to Z makes for inspiring reading and is highly recommended for personal and community library self-help collections and reading lists..

Motivating and Interesting!

Derrick Hayes defines a Derricknym as "an acronym with a touch of Derrick where words are motivational messages." I think the definition accurately describes this sort of dictionary-like book that goes through the alphabet from A to Z...inspiring, motivating, and having the potential to change the lives of those who read it. In addition to giving the word (acronym), Hayes goes on to give a short passage explaining the meaning.Some very impactful ones for me are listed below, but you'll have to pick up the book to find out their meaning. ANGEL (Always Notice the Good In Everyone's Life), BOOK (Build on Original Knowledge), COLOR (Communicate Openly to Leave out Racism), LAUGH (Life Allows Us to Get Help), LOVE (Let Others Visit your Experience), PROFIT (People Realizing Our Future Is Today), and WHY (Worshipping Helps You).This is a fun book that also manages to teach its readers the values of life. Pick it up and see for yourself and be sure to share with your family and friends; especially our children as Hayes focuses a lot of his seminars and motivational speaking on the children in our community.Reviewed by Tee C.
