Nobody promised life would be easy.
By Warren Fox.
INTRODUCTION
“You should write a book Warren, about your life,” a friend told me. “I'm not a writer and I'm no good with English,” I replied.
“Doesn't matter. Just write the way you tell it. You're a good storyteller and it's a story that needs telling.”
Many friends told me the same thing but I kept rejecting the idea, until one day somebody suggested that writing my life story might be therapeutic.
I could see that it could be and not just for me alone. By reading it, others, who have had similar experiences, could benefit by it as well. My hope is that my readers will be inspired to rise above their problems.
This is the story of the struggles and hardship that I have faced and overcome, throughout my life.
In the early part of this book, I describe the old machines and appliances that we used in the 1930’s and 40’s. The way things were in days gone by.
I'll relate the type of work I did in some of the 77 jobs that I have worked at and I'll take you to the 80 homes that I have lived in. You'll read how I came to learn Afrikaans and Esperanto. You'll read about motor racing at Western Springs Speedway and Gloucester Park Stock car Track. Then learn how Lou Shilton and I progressed from racing motorbikes to inventing and racing Chassis Racers.
But most of all, this is a book about Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy and contains some very interesting case histories. It is also a learning book, for those who want to learn. But lets start at the beginning.
For simplicity, I will use the present decimal currency in all money transactions and costs. Similarly, the names of places, streets and countries will be quoted mainly with their present names.
For example Pine Island will be written as Herald Island, as it is today.
