“I’m In Charge”: The Battery and the Wire
Who’s Got the Power?
“The value in each human is the gift they were born to deliver to humanity”
Which one of these is the most important part of a car: the battery or the terminal wire? You’ve probably never heard of the little red wire that connects the battery to the rest of the engine in the car. If you’re like most people you will say, “The battery. It has the power.”
Your car has about 60,000 parts. The battery says, “I’m in charge of all of them. Nothing starts without me. I’m the battery. I have the power. Power! Power! Power! I’m the one who starts everything. Nothing starts until I arrive. I’m the power. I’ve got the power to start the engine.”
INTERVIEW | Michael Taylor
Michael, describe yourself for our visitors.
Listen to a message from the Michael Taylor.
I consider myself to be an irrepressible optimist that always finds the positive in any situation. I have a deep passion for learning new things and I truly enjoy teaching others. I have always been a teacher at heart and my books are just a way of me expressing the things I’m passionate about and teaching others. On a personal note, I’m happily married (2nd marriage) with three grown children and feel truly blessed to be able to say that I am a great father and husband and I consider these to be my greatest accomplishments. I consider myself to be somewhat of a computer geek and when I’m not writing or speaking you’ll find me watching movies or listening to old school seventies and eighties soul music.

Atlanta, GA (BlackNews.com) – Noted author of books and other educational materials for children, Carole Marsh, released on November 5 her new book Barack Obama: America’s 44th President, published and distributed by Gallopade International. "November 4, 2008 IS the ‘day that is different’ for African America children," says Marsh, who has been writing black history books for kids 7 to 17 for more than 30 years. "It is the day they got proof that they can be anything they want to be! Perhaps more importantly, they now see proven evidence of why education is so essential and that studying hard in school is certainly worth the effort and a key to success."
