Written with a blend of humor and practical wisdom, The Same
Sweet Girl’s Guide to Life by Cassandra King offers
inspiration and solid advice to new graduates that can
sustain them through life’s inevitable ups and downs. In
this small book you will find advice that will only grow in
meaning throughout the years. It can - and should - be read
again and again, by thoughtful people of all ages.
King’s true gift is in her ability to present readers with
the sort of hard-earned wisdom that will help both young and
old find sustenance and renewed meaning in their lives.
Her first pearl of wisdom: sincerity is an important virtue,
and once you learn to fake it, you are well on your way to
success! Dare to laugh at yourself. Find kindred spirits
and keep them close to you; expand your circle of friends.
Know the true value of time. She also advises that we try to
find words to express love and gratitude but to keep in mind
that it is our actions that reveal our feelings more than
our words.
And as an addition to this lecture, which was delivered to a
graduating class at her alma mater, Montevallo College, King
adds a new afterword on the value of becoming a lifelong
reader.
