Berlin Meredith began his collection of thoughts, quotes, poems and stories many years ago. After retiring from the Federal Government as a Veterans Benefits Counselor, he worked as a cashier at a local Big Bear Plus supermarket. While there, he began printing his "Thought of the Week" on strips of paper and giving them to each person who came through his check-out line. This was so well received that his many friends and customers encouraged him to put his collection of quotes in a book. This book contains many of his favorite quotes, thoughts, poems and stories. In addition, he has written several short stories and some of those stories are included in the book. Not only is his book entertaining reading but it contains inspirational and motivational quotes which can be used to: Energize your speeches with interesting quotes and thoughts. Invigorate your staff meetings. Vitalize and liven up your newsletters by adding motivational thoughts and quotes. Or you may just want to: Memorize a thought or Bible verse every day.
