Born with cerebral palsy, life for Bill Porter presented many
challenges. But he was not going to let that get in the way of
living a full and enriching life. Told by so many that he was
unemployable, Bill was determined to support himself financially
and without state disability aid. So began his employment as a
door-to-door salesman for the Watkins company - a job that was to
see him become their most successful salesperson in the USA.
Written by Shelly Brady, a close friend who first worked for Bill
as a teenager, this book marks the triumph of an indomitable spirit
that knows no limits. "Ten Things" shares with us the story of
Bill''s life and the valuable lessons Shelly learned from this most
remarkable man. The ''ten things'' that frame the narrative are
simple but powerful gifts of wisdom that can teach us to live
profoundly happy and fulfilled lives. Heartwarming and uplifting in
the vein of "Tuesdays With Morrie" and "Hannah''s Gift", it is an
inspiration to all of us moving through life without disability,
but with perhaps greater resistance to living fully. --This text
