Product Description
Over a forty-six-year career, Langston Hughes experimented with black folk expressive culture, creating an enduring body of extraordinary imaginative writing. Riding the crest of African American creative energy from the Harlem Renaissance to the onset of Black Power, he commanded an artistic prowess that survives in the legacy he bequeathed to a younger generation of writers, including Alice Walker, Paule Marshall, and Amiri Baraka. Montage of a Dream extends and deepens previous scholarship, multiplying the ways in which Hughes s diverse body of writing can be explored. By showing that Hughes continues to speak to the fundamentals of human nature, this comprehensive reconsideration invites a renewed appreciation of Hughes s work and encourages new readers to discover his enduring relevance as they seek to understand the world in which we all live. ...

Product Description

Patrick Henry Hughes was born with a rare genetic disorder that left him without eyes and physically disabled. But he was blessed with rare musical talent—able to play the piano as a baby. Today, at age twenty, he is a nationally known pianist, singer, trumpeter, and marching-band member. With determined optimism, Hughes made “I am potential” his mantra, defying his disabilities at every turn.

In I Am Potential, Hughes and his father share their extraordinary journey and describe the eight critical lessons at the heart of their success. Simply and candidly written, I Am Potential is an inspiration for anyone facing their own challenges.

5-0 out of 5 stars John Henry is Potential
Inspiring, uplifting, profound reminder of how blessed and fortunate we are regardless of how bad things may be.The title is dead on:great lessons for life, for loving and doing your best where you are with what you have.

5-0 out of 5 stars Amazing person, amazing book!
No one can read this book without boosting his or her own feelings about human potential. This book is about Patrick's fantastic developmentAND reveals both his parents' role in making Patrick's potential achievable. Also, the significant role the University of Louisville music director played.

5-0 out of 5 stars OUTSTANDING, FROM ALL ASPECTS!!!
WOW!! What an outstanding guy Patrick Henry Hughes is.A definite inspiration to everyone.I also bought his two music CD's on which he plays the piano, sings and also plays the trumpet. Patrick is good!!!!I've listened to them over and over.

The book is well-written by Bryant Stamford with all the input and personality, wit, etc. coming through from Patrick and his dad.

Recommended for everyone... but would be a special boost to anyone with handicaps who thought they couldn't do things.Patrick just gives a million reasons why YOU CAN DO WHAT YOU WANT TO DO .. and then goes about doing it.I'd love to hear him speak, and play his trumpet and piano "in person".

With Aloha .. Nancy On Maui

5-0 out of 5 stars Is This Incredible Young Man Even Possible -- Indeed He Is!

I've heard it said that "Heroes are made, not born." WRONG!

On March 10, 1988, a hero was born into the United States to the Hughes family. He was the first baby of Patrick Hughes (Dad), and his wife, Patricia.
Immediately after delivery, like all parents they were proud of their first son. Then doctors brought news of baby Patrick's startling condition. Their son was afflicted with many disabling conditions: blindness, incomplete hip joints, and shoulder joints that would not allow his arms to swing outward more than a few inches. In addition, Patrick's vertebral column could not support his upward body.

I Am Potential: Eight Lessons on Living, Loving, and Reaching Your Dreams is more than just the story of baby Patrick--wheelchair bound--mastering heights most of us have never reached or even dreamed of reaching. It is also the story of two other people, Patrick's Mom and Dad who infused in their baby, two critical attributes which made him what he is today.

1) Although his abnormalities were extremely rare, Patrick would never experience lack of love. If a loving God had seen fit to create him as is, then Mom and Dad would accept him as is and extend to him the same love they'd give to any other child.
2) In addition, from the time Patrick went home for the very first time, his parents had already made a monumental and irreversible decision. They would treat their newborn as if his condition was normal--for him. Be gone pity. Good-by doubt. Farewell to any sense of limitation. Patrick would be, all he wanted to be.

Patrick Senior learned quickly how to calm his wailing young son, especially when mother was absent--play the piano for him. It worked so well that at nine months, Patrick Henry began imitating the sounds his dad made on their piano keyboard.

At first he learned to match the pitch of sounds; gradually, he learned to imitate melodies and harmonies so that by age two, Father and Son started playing melodies together. As years passed, Patrick's musical ability rapidly increased. In 2001, while vacationing in Tennessee, he played Beethoven's moving Moonlight Sonata in the foyer of a church. All eyes and ears turned in his direction.

It took some time for Patrick to learn Braille, but master it he did. Not only was he successful in grade school, but he graduated high school as well. Patrick then moved on to become a college student at The University of Louisville. By this time, he had learned to play the trumpet. As incredible as it appears when seen in video footage, with his father's precise wheelchair steering ability, the twosome became a single member of the university's marching band.

This book is a must read for people with handicapping conditions from birth or from fate. Patrick's courage and the support given by mother, father, and brothers as he grew older, cannot help but inspire even the most depressed individual to accept a disabling condition and move forward.

I Am Potential is fascinating to read because the narrative switches back and forth between Patrick and his father. Yet this cannot be interpreted as lack of empathy or support from Patrick's mother or younger brothers. What is evident is this: the glue that kept this family together came from an openly shared love and trust all felt toward one another including their God.

I cannot recommend this book highly enough to the general public who often see people with a handicap as a handicapped person. Patrick has proven the two terms are not equal or even logical. In his life, there is no such thing as handicap or failure. Why? It was never permitted in his thinking.

Does he miss his sight? He would be the first to say, actually, I don't know because I don't know what seeing means. Once, when asked how he'd feel if God suddenly gave him the ability to walk, Patrick replied, "I'd say yes ... but nothing is accomplished by dwelling on the fact you can't walk. So you have to shrink its importance in your mind ... and that's what I've done."

5-0 out of 5 stars Must Read
This is a must read for anyone who is serious about improving their leadership skills.I thoroughly enjoyed the format, which made it a very easy read.

5-0 out of 5 stars A fictional true story - filled with wisdom
"Haunting the CEO" by John Hughes is truth told in parable form and is a compelling read for anyone in IT or executive management.While the book reads quickly (easily read it on a 10 hour pan Pacific flight), putting it into practice will be a matter of time and repetition.The story John tells is a true one - it is mine and perhaps yours.I have the privilege of knowing John personally and have engaged him to play the role of coach / mentor.He does that exceedingly well.Because I know John's story, his character and have lived parts of this story myself, and most importantly because this is truth that resonates with me, I wholeheartedly recommend this book to you. ...
