About this ebook
What I Will...I Can,was specifically written to be a "Handbook" of support for people going through various life experiences. With emphasis on the individuality of each of us, it shows us how our uniqueness is actually our strength and can be used as a key factor for our success in life.
Talking about how the sub-conscious mind is the "programming" aspect of our being, this little book affords the reader many ways and opportunities to not only change one's "conscious" thinking, but to actually "re-program" the sub-conscious over time, helping the reader to have a healthier, happier more successful life.
Joseph Giampapa
JOSEPH GIAMPAPA is a Self Empowerment Specialist. What he does works...and works well! Coming from a large Italian family and raised in the suburbs of Chicago provided a storehouse of wonderful experiences for Joseph to relay to audiences as he began his career as a "Stand Up Comedian", often working with the Red Cross Entertainment Services going out to military hospitals to entertain the troops. While in Europe he wrote, directed and produced various "Road Shows" for our servicemen. These skills he carried back to the states where in became a teacher. Having advanced degrees in Communication, Theater and Sociology were more than a bonus for his students who learned by becoming "involved" through such projects as burying a "Time Capsule" in front of City Hall, and assisting with supplying a new school in the Philippines through the Peace Corps. Maintaining a Private Practice for adults and "kids at risk" put Mr. Giampapa in the forefront of educators known for innovative programs. He holds titles in three countries, and has been labeled a leader in the field of "interpersonal communications" which led to one of his programs being reviewed by White House staff for future programming for children. He espouses the philosophy that "each one of us was meant to be a 'special someone' among us." The Entertainment Industries Council "Speakers Bureau Roster of Celebrities" added Joseph Giampapa to its prestigious roster. (Board members, past and present, include the likes of Frank Sinatra, Lucille Ball, Tim Conway, and many others.) Listed among his titles: Professor, Playwright, Director, Producer and Author. It’s not uncommon for standing ovations to take place during his speaking events and workshops. A CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate) volunteer stated that a Joseph Giampapa video (taped by an audience member) is The Most popular video in their library! And at a speaking engagement for "downsized executives", his seventy-five minute talk was rated the High Point of their entire eight week experience.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
A MESSAGE FROM THE AUTHOR
Understand this. No-one can teach us anything. We teach ourselves. Others just help in facilitating our learning. Ultimately, we really learn only those things that we want to learn.
Your life will change for the better, according to your willingness to make it better. Because life is an Action-Reaction, Cause and Effect
system…as you start to change for the better, so will your environment. People will seem friendlier, good things will seem to happen to you more frequently, your general health and attitude will be better, all because of the changes you are making, subtle though they be.
Every little shift
in your thinking, attitude and/or perspective or perception will alter your world around you. Dr Wayne Dyer, wise man that he is, tells us that if we change the way we look at something, the thing we look at…will change. In other words, change your perspective or outlook of something and watch what happens. One of the earliest definitions for insanity was to do the same thing over and over…and expect different results. We are exactly where we are in life because this is where we choose to be! If you want to change your life, you are going to have to go out of your comfort zone.
Push the envelope
, so to speak, until the new action, or way of thinking
becomes acceptable and comfortable for you.
If you get nothing else from this little book, remember this…you are indeed what you think and you ALWAYS find what you look for …good OR bad.
I wish you a beautiful life!
P.S. If you read this little book and you find yourself looking at something with a slightly different attitude, then you have made a choice to change
something, slight though it may be. But remember the words of Dr. Norman Vincent Peale:
No choice is altogether small…for upon the most seemingly unimportant choice may ultimately depend the OUTCOME OF YOUR LIFE!

CHAPTER 1—YOU ARE UNIQUE
~*~
Scribbled on a bathroom wall: I’m a schizophrenic…and so am I!
~*~
Attorney: Doctor, before you performed the autopsy, did you check for a pulse?
Witness: No.
Attorney: Did you check for blood pressure?
Witness: No.
Attorney: Did you check for breathing?
Witness: No.
Attorney: So then it is possible that the patient was alive when you began the autopsy?
Witness: No.
Attorney: How can you be so sure, Doctor?
Witness: Because his brain was sitting on my desk in a jar.
Attorney: I see, but could the patient still have been alive nevertheless?
Witness: Yes, it is possible that he could have been alive and practicing law.

YOU ARE UNIQUE
Know this. No one else possesses your exact blend of skills, mannerisms, style, talent, etc. Now follow me on this…of all the billions of people on this planet…there has never been, in the past, now, or in the future… another human being exactly like you! This doesn’t make you weird or odd
…it makes you extremely SPECIAL!
There is no such thing as an insignificant Human Being! It simply doesn’t exist. Every individual on this planet has uniqueness, not only unto him/herself…but to the others in this world. And here’s what’s really cool, there is a place for you and your specialness
that will truly benefit this world
