I wrote a book called: "Your Sperm Won--Experiencing Your Value As A Championship Human Being". It is about self-esteem and personal worth. Most people know they have value as a person, but they don't experience it -- they don't really feel it or believe it strongly.

This book gives dozens of practical techniques on how to achieve practical self-esteem. For more information on hot to purchase it or comments on my blogs, e-mail me at stsimms@hotmail.com

This poem is not in my book but it does describe the theme of the book.

A million million spermatoza,
All of them alive:
Out of their cataclysm but one poor Noah
Dare hope to survive.

And among that billion minus one
Might have chanced to be
Shakespeare, another Newton, a new Donne --
But the one was me.

--Aldous Huxley

"The willing contemplation of vice is vice." --Arab proverb
