Fantastic Book!!!!!!!!

By
Real Estate Agent with Aubrey and Associates Realty

I mentioned in a blog last week that after beginning Ryan Shaughnessy's post on the wisdom found in the book written by the baseball icon and Hall of Famer, Yogi Berra, When You Come to A Fork In The Road, Take It!  That I was so inspired that I found the book and bought it.  I have always loved to listen to Yogi Berra talk, he has a way of twisting words around so that it gets your attention.

I finished reading the book, it isn't very long, but it is a great read!  The wisdom that is behind the quotes is amazing for a man who dropped out of High School at age 14.  He went to work in the factories until he was signed by the New York Yankees.  This is an amazing collection of simple values that are spun into colorful sayings and funny stories that underscore the life's lessons that are contained in these "Yogiisms". 

It is a fun, entertaining and thoughtful read that I highly recommend!  I also recommend that you check out Ryan Shaughnessy's blogs taken from these sayings!  Ryan does a masterful job of adapting these quotes and lessons so that they are applicable to us in real estate!  So check them out, I don't believe for a second that you will be disappointed by reading either Ryan's blog or the book itsself.  I know that I am not, and I highly recommend both to you!

Remember, "It ain't over til it's over!"

Don't you just love the simple wisdom of Yogi Berra? I will have to look for that book as well. Some days you need that wisdom!
