Point: A philosopher is born next to a pond.<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
Path: A grandfather passes on the wisdom of life to his grandson through fishing, hunting, and time outdoors. The boy learns life\u2019s major lessons from a caring old man who desires his progeny to be ready and useful in the world.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n
Sources: A thorough understanding of the great outdoors, and all that goes into a genuine sportsman.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
Agreement: I found this to be both a humorous and thoughtful book. The wisdom of the old man made me remember key old men in my life and what they taught me through walks in this world.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
Disagreement: The old man can be cantankerous at times, and uses the language suited for his demeanor. I also would disagree with his view of religion.<\/span><\/div>\n

Personal App: Am I listening to the Old Men in my life?\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
