Thanks, I learned from the master, James Altucher. He sort of inspired me to tell the truth instead of slitting my own throat. Autobiography is a powerful tool that helps people understand what someone has been through. It also releases us from judging and making people feel bad. Once you take responsibility for your pain, and share it with the world, it seems that people geniunely respond and take a look inside themselves. Well, this is what happened to me when i found the work of the entreprenuer and writer, James Altucher. His writing changed my life so much, that I started sending him drawings of gratitude in the mail.

James and I are acquaintances now, and I've had several private message exchanges with him. I consider him to be my writing mentor. He knows this.......he knows how much I admire his writing as I dedicated my book to him.

This is the drawing I sent to him in the mail. After he got this, he accepted me as his friend.
I didn't do it in order to receive any special access to him. I really feel like his writing saved my life. I was on the edge of deciding whether i wanted to live or die, then i found his writing, which pretty much made me re-think my career and life.
