Tip #2: Value Encouragement

I wanted to write a book almost as soon as I learned to read. The more I read, the more I wanted to write.

In the third grade, I gave my teacher a recipe I had “written” for a prescription medication that included one cherry and a spoonful of lime juice. She was very serious as she read and then asked questions about what I had written.

Some years later, I graduated from medical school and many years after that, I wrote a book. I know that my teacher was an important part of my journey.

Never underestimate the value of encouragement!
