Publisher's Synopsis
Introduction I made many mistakes in my life by not knowing Man made Laws. However, I had to suffer the consequences after breaking some of them. I learned not to continue to break the Law or I would eventually end up in prison or dead. Among poor people there is a lot of pressure not to look poor so as not to be the butt of jokes about "how you dress" even though most people's are. It's an attempt to reclaim some dignity and present oneself as belonging to the class to which one aspires, i.e., the class that is not "so fresh and so clean" is popular in the ghetto. To stay in the game you have to keep your image up by your attire being washed and neat looking no matter what, because the appearance you portray to society to be successful get a job, respect by other etc., will determine your destiny. Life is a gift from God. So enjoy it and make the best of it. You will be seen more, if you contribute something positive toward society and others than intimidate and embarrass yourself by being indecent. Don't tee-row yourself and be a loser your entire life. What a waste! The old saying is you must make it over Fool's hill and change your life style. I guess I was blessed by the mercy of God to make it over that hill. My life turned in another direction which made me a better man. Later in life, I was inspired to publish this booklet to inform the reader (s) on "Rules to Uphold & Live By." Therlee Gipson
