ROCKVILLE, Md., Dec. 6, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- A new book designed to inspire young people to greater heights, J. Edsel Edmunds' The Triangle of Success (now available through AuthorHouse), presents motivational tools and sound advice for building a foundation from which to soar.
Directed at youth, especially those in disadvantaged situations, Edmunds seeks to empower them and help them reach their full potential. In order to achieve this, he offers a "Triangle of Success" with three key facets: goal setting, believing in oneself and creating action plans. This roadmap to achievement helps readers focus on improvement in any area of their lives.
The book emphasizes an understanding of the differences in culture that often spark confrontation and confusion. He stresses that humanity is the common thread among the people of the world. Taking time to develop a greater appreciation of viewpoints and lifestyles foreign to one's own will help open minds and strengthen people's capacity to serve.
Edmunds encourages young people to explore constantly, acquire hobbies that stimulate their creativity and brain power and realize the vast amounts of information they have yet to learn. This sets the stage for people to transform into the strong leaders the world desperately needs.
An uplifting book, The Triangle of Success motivates readers of all ages to assess how they can better themselves for the good of their world.
Edmunds has spent his career in public service. He earned a bachelor's degree in agronomy from the University of Puerto, a master's degree in plant pathology and a Ph.D. in nematology from Cornell University. A former research fellow at the University of the West Indies and director of research and development with the Windward Islands Banana Growers association, he served as a senator in St. Lucia and as an ambassador of that country to the United States, United Nations and Organization of American States. He was chairman of the OAS Permanent Council and chief of OAS electoral missions in Guyana and Grenada. An international consultant to donor agencies, he has also written more than 50 papers in topics ranging from agriculture to democracy. His awards include accolades from the Queen of England and a decoration in the rank of Grand Cross from Chile. He has published one other book, a poetry collection titled Many Horizons (Diaspora Press, Medgar Evans College, NYU).
