Publisher's Synopsis
This book presents a portrait of a simple man who speaks candidly about the many challenges and difficulties he had encountered. It is a fascinating and captivating insight into a somewhat adventurous and amazing life that should inspire at least some of the readers to emulate his unorthodox strategies to uplift themselves. One does not have to be a genius to aim for the highest and to attain something great. The author elevated himself from almost nothing without an early education to attain professorial status in a leading university. More importantly, his various publications culminated in his attainment of a higher doctorate degree, which is a vindication of the highly improbable proposition that he pursued in his last decade in academia.
