Synopsis

A young sensitive teenage boy overcomes poverty, adversity and emotional dependency to become a man among men. He learns the comfort of independence. He learns the key to material wealth is pleasing people to such an extent that they will part with their hard earned money to buy your product or service. He learns that listening, really listening, allows one to understand human reaction to almost all human pursuits and circumstances- - -predictable so. He learns that knowledge is power. He, further learns, that facts are not flexible and that doing the "right" thing is the only acceptable alternative regardless of personal consequences. In essence, he is the kind of man I would have liked to have been.
