Handbook to Survive Life

A collection of writings on various subjects to help the every man or woman survive in a rapidly changing, uncertain world after the easy living and prosperity of the seventies and eighties, (especially for me living in South Africa under apartheid). If writing is 10 per cent inspiration and 90% perspiration ( a statement with which I wholeheartedly agree!), I would like to thank my dear wife*, Marie and my secretary, Pamela Francois for doing the excellent job in editing and typing this manuscript. This work is dedicated to my dear boys Gareth and Sean who have brought me so much happiness. Thanks Marie for the time and effort you put in. I'm sorry our partnership didn't work out. But especially my heartfelt thanks for hopefully allowing me to find my niche in life...at long long last. Gisborne, New Zealand August, 1993
