Word to the Wise: Albino
Author’s New Book Exposes “Power of Perception”; Empowering Readers from All
Walks of Life to Rise above Negativity.
Chris Jones stormed
the literary scene in 2013 with ‘Insight of Perseverance’, a compelling and
intimate look into the life of an albino sufferer who knows how to smash
through life’s boundaries. Jones is now back with ‘Word to the Wise’, his
eagerly-awaited second volume that melds his personal story of triumph with an
uplifting message of encouragement to those who feel life’s odds are stacked
against them.
Princeton, TX – Chris Jones spent his
early years like many visually impaired people do – trying to find a way to
either hide or supress their disability’s symptoms so they can compete with
their able-bodies peers. However, Jones quickly learned that his afflictions
were a gift and, after embracing who he was as a person, excelled through
education to invent a cutting-edge energy storage and harvesting device.
Jones told his
story in 2013’s ‘Insight of Perseverance’. Having since noticed the plight and
struggles millions are facing with their own adversity, Jones is back on the
scene with ‘Word to the Wise: The Power of Perception’.
Synopsis:
Do you have dreams? Do you feel like they are
within your reach? A lot of people want to accomplish something but so many
factors are holding them back. Whether it’s a deeply rooted lack of belief in
oneself, seemingly insurmountable obstacles, or a chorus of naysayers, I want
to show you how you can rise above the negativity. Perceptions can make or
break us; if we learn to make the most of perceptions, we can achieve and
succeed in anything.
Self-help books might show you why you think or act
in a certain way, but my book is a guide to believing in yourself and others.
It doesn’t matter if you were born with a disability or a silver spoon.
Everyone is different, and it is in sharing our experiences that we can move
toward our goals.
I believe that each person who reads this book will
find something meaningful that can be applied as we traverse this interesting
journey called life.
“Many
readers are taking my words to heart, which is every author’s dream,” explains
Jones. “This is why I write; not to get rich, but to change the lives of people
everywhere. I broke even on my last book, but I’d have turned down a million
dollars in place of the pride I felt knowing that my book spoke directly to so
many people struggling in their own lives.”
Continuing,
“This book doesn’t preach to people, but rather calls them into action through
sharing my own story. Many people who haven’t achieved their dreams feel alone;
often choosing to suffer in silence. My goal is to bring them out of the
woodwork into a place where they can recognize their dreams with gusto!”
Jones’
first book enjoyed rave reviews. For example, one Amazon reader commented, “Few
autobiographies are written with such clean honesty, beautiful sparseness, and
comprehensive chronology. Chris describes a world seen through the unique eyes
of an albino, and outlines his struggles and triumphs that--if unspoken--remain
otherwise unknown. His voice and his writing--his insight, indeed!--are a
beacon of hope for every person who has ever faced (or is facing) such
struggles, who has ever felt overwhelmed by an intolerant and misunderstanding
society, and who has ever felt...different.”
‘Word to the Wise: The Power of Perception’ is

About the Author:
Christopher Thomas
Dwight Major Jones is the son of Major and Sherry Jones. He attended school in
Winona, Texas, a little town near Tyler, Texas where he was born on December
18, 1983. In 2002, Christopher graduated high school in Winona, Texas and
continued his education at the Texas State Technical College in Marshall,
Texas. After 6 years at the college, Christopher received his associate’s
degree in Software Engineering. Then in 2008, after successfully completing his
studies in Computer Information Systems at Texas A&M University in
Commerce, Texas, Christopher received his Bachelor’s degree. Following his
undergraduate studies, he worked in the field of Computer Science as an
Application Web Developer, which led to his enrolment into the Master's program
in Computer Science there at Texas A&M University. Shortly after graduation
in 2010 with his Master Degree in hand and still at Texas A&M, Christopher
began exploring his computer background. He combined his hardware and software
experiences which led to his research and development of new ideas. Christopher
started to prototype a device that would store energy and also help the
environment by harvesting the energy using a microcontroller. He developed a
sensor node capable of running any type of code while maintaining its
efficiency in energy harvesting. In 2010, Christopher applied for a patent on
ideas and concept of a new efficient way to store power in a rechargeable
environment. The patent is currently pending in the United States Patent Office
while Christopher is currently working on his PHD and teaching at Texas A&M
University.
