Parables for Life in the 21st Century by Stuart Gustafson

Parables for Life in the 21st Century is a collection of 24 stories (they have been
called "modern Aesop fables") where each story is followed by a moral to the story. Then
there are applications of that story's moral for your personal life as well as your business
life. This is the first book in this series by Stuart Gustafson.

Some of the story morals in Parables for Life in the 21st Century were taken from Stuart
and Darlene's own responses to their children, such as "Is it better to have it and not
need it, or need it and not have it?" and "Life is NOT fair. Get over it, and get used to it."
There is even Aesop's own "Slow but steady wins the race."

Ideal for readers of all ages from pre-teens to adults; for parents, teachers, and
business leaders.

Here are just some of the reviews:

Here are some of the morals from Parables for Life in the 21st Century:

Don't forget the basics. Roger did, and his parakeet died.
Don't be afraid to accept success or to challenge idleness.
Warmth and kindness can gain you more good than meanness and a cold heart.
Words, just like nails, can still leave pain and scars even when they are retracted. Make sure the words you use
are kind words, not mean words that hurt.
Your future is in front of you, not behind you.
Life is NOT fair. Get over it, and get used to it.
