Inspirational story Mar 08, 2009
By Langhorne Wilson
The author, Keith Simpson, takes the reader through a journey of his life. Keith was on his way to becoming a star athlete. Everything changes when he is involved in a horrible auto accident. All his hopes and dreams are destroyed. Keith describes how he copes with his losses and the pain from the accident - mostly through destructive behavior.
The turning point in his life is when Keith accepts the Lord and after that incredible things happen.
It has been my priviledge to know Keith, who has been my personal trainer and friend. When I finished reading the story of his life and everything he has accomplished since his accident, I promised myself that I would never use the words "I can't" ever again.
I highly recommend this inspiring story. It will make you always want to "try hard."
An inspiring story about an exceptional person Apr 28, 2009
By Toni E. Whitley
When life hands you lemons, Try Hard is the message you should remember. This book diagrams a young man's journey from near death as a result of an auto accident in his teens, through tumultuous and difficult years relearning how to function in day-to-day life, through subsequent battles with drugs and alcohol, and finally realizing his own ability to overcome those many battles.
Keith's story is very inspiring, simply told and heartfelt. I know Keith personally. I know that when Keith says he is going to do something, he does it. He finds a way to make it happen. His "try hard" attitude gives him focus and strength to achieve his goals. His faith in God, the conviction and drive he demonstrates daily, and his determination to see his way through to the end are all a testament to Keith's philosophy.
Keith Simpson is an exceptional man who has faced all that life has handed him and turned it into a personal success story. This book is a must read for anyone who celebrates the human spirit and its ability to overcome life's trials.
