Each of us leaves a unique footprint or a legacy before we die. At the end of each chapter the interviewee was asked if they were at the end of life - what are the most important lessons that they would like to pass along to a favorite son or daughter. To retain character and personality; the stories are unfiltered, told in the interviewees' own words. Every man's story is sacred and worthy of recognition. Every act has its consequences-and with it come lessons. Uncommon Wisdom touches upon the following: Purpose of life Artistic breakthroughs SuccessPersonal growthCourage under pressureConfronting deathOvercoming racial and gender barriers Foundations for a fulfilling lifeBusiness strategies from a CEOBreaking social barriersCaretakingEthics and spiritualityThe need for mentors has never been more crucial as colleges and universities are teaching students how to memorize and spit out dates and names in order to pass tests, but nothing about how to make your way through life.
