The O’Reilly Factor for Kids
Got The O’Reilly Factor for Kids as a Christmas present from Tim and have been treating it as bedtime reading for the last couple of weeks.
It’s written at the level of young teenagers, give or take (ie – “since you can’t vote yet…”, “when you’re able to drive…”, etc). I suppose if I want his advice to adults it might be more appropriate to read through one of his adult targeted books. Fair enough.
In any case, the book was good at what it was intended to do: convince kids who are already fans of Bill O’Reilly that behaving (and, in converse, not doing bad stuff) to keep on keeping on.
There were lots of good tips throughout the book (don’t drink, don’t smoke, volunteer your time to help others, etc). All good stuff, and the average kid who gets this in his stocking at Christmas will likely be either well on his way to already following all of these recommendations or well on his way to long-since having decided to ignore good advice from adults.
Anyways, that’s getting a bit out of scope. It was a fine book. It had lots of good advice. Chances are, if you follow all of this advice diligently you will end up successful. But I suppose one could argue that this is more because anyone who realizes early enough in their life that these are the right things to do has innate success-creating ability built-in and would have succeeded anyway.
