"This is the first book by Motivational Speaker and Trainer, Marcus Girard. Mr. Girard candidly shares his experiences of growing up on the mean streets of Brooklyn, New York and offers readers four life principles that aided him in keeping his own life on track. This book helps young men to take a hard look at the kind of men they are becoming spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, financially, socially and sexually. Mr. Girard hammers away at the pseudo image of manhood that negative rap music and hip hop culture offers young men in today's times. Other topics covered in this book include functional illiteracy and the immeasurable value of reading, developing a work ethic, and transitioning out of their parent's home. Young men get a chance to look ten years into the future and consider where the positive and negative consequences of their actions have brought them."
