A MESSAGE FROM JOY

Some people think that saying, “Everyone can be a winner” is a misnomer. However, the real misnomer is saying, “Not everyone can be a winner.”

The truth is, given the unique characteristics and abilities that help to determine a person’s purpose in life, all people have the potential to be winners in their spheres of influence.  In the final analysis, people are winners when they fulfill their purpose in ways that benefit others as well as themselves.

However, while those realities are inspiring, they do not guarantee winning. Tweens need to:

  • Overcome the obstacles that can prevent winning,
  • Set themselves up for winning, and
  • Do what it takes to win.

I wrote the WS series in order to provide the information, skills, and motivation that tweens need to have in order to win.

THE CLASSIC STATUS OF THE WINNING SKILLS BOOKS

The WINNING SKILLS books are a part of the collection of kids’ self-help books and other materials called THE JOY BERRY CLASSICS.

The purpose of the JOY BERRY CLASSICS is to help children, from the beginning of their lives through pre-adolescence, become responsible:

for themselves,
in their relationships with others, and
in the way that they relate to the things in their environment.

The classic look and feel of the WINNING SKILLS books is due to the restoration of the vintage artwork from the original publications that is now featured in the current WINNING SKILLS books.

THE PURPOSE

The 18 WINNING SKILLS books help young people succeed at every level of their lives.

All young people have a desire to succeed, but few possess the knowledge and skills that are required in order to be successful. The WINNING SKILLS books can help young people overcome the obstacles that can prevent them from becoming successful. These books can also help young people organize their lives in ways that will allow them to succeed. Last but not least, the WINNING SKILLS books can provide all of the information, including step-by-step instructions, for achieving personal goals and winning at every level.
