Thinking Is Authorized! (ePub)

I have always been intrigued by the concepts of nature, God, life, death, prayer, the future, and so forth. My outlook on these concepts is a culmination of over two decades of introspection, reflection, observation, and especially, what I consider makes more sense compared to the numerous religious beliefs and scientific theories prevalent in society today.

My life has been very fortunate overall, but I have had my share of trials and setbacks. Though religious proficiency isnt among my strong points, I consider myself to be well-groundedthats what I think helped me deal reasonably well with the unfortunate experiences of being divorced twice (and handling the associated child-custody issues). It is also what I think helped me deal realistically with a totally unexpected major brain surgery in 2001, though I had been physically active for decades and was otherwise in excellent health.

My professional life has also been eventful in the sense that I went through a total shift in career from a certified public accountant and a certified management accountant to an electrical engineer. I was still in the last semester of a masters degree in Taxation in 1988 when I started the first term of a bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering.Subsequently, as part of my engineering job requirements, I successfully completed (as a civilian) a very challenging Naval Nuclear Power School curriculum for officers.
