Whatever is a book about you. Whatever will help you in your daily life. Whatever will also help you to help others. If Jerry Seinfeld can write a show about nothing and Cosmo Kramer can write a coffee-table book that turns into a coffee table, I can write a book about Whatever. We all have "stuff" we all need to learn how to deal with. We need to adapt in helping others with their stuff also. Many times, people don't need physical help. They are just looking for someone to talk to and maybe get another perspective of the situation or someone whom they just needed to vent to. Be a good listener. It's not always about you. When you help someone, chances are, you are helping yourself. At times, people just need some help. The littlest things can make such a big difference-a smile, a laugh, or even just opening the car door for someone. This book is over twenty years and a lifetime of observations, situations, and experiences I have had, and many you have had. The key element of Whatever is to help yourself first and then for you to pass it on to others. We are just a world of people helping people, and sometimes we need a little help. I hope you enjoy reading Whatever and have some laughs and smiles along the way. I know you have seen some of the writings and pictures before. Maybe now you will be able to look at your life differently. Whatever will help you do that and also for you to help someone else. Remember what they tell you on an airplane: "Secure your own oxygen first before helping others." Enjoy your time.
