By Dr Benjamin S Akins

With decades of professional experience in various areas of leadership, ministry, life-coaching, counseling, and character development, Dr. Benjamin S. Akins was compelled to share one thousand of his refined thoughts, concepts, and additional success strategies. His hope is for readers to embrace the purpose and power of "free-thinking," while exercising disciplines associated with living an honorable life of character, class, and conviction governed by life's restrictions.
