A few years ago "Chicken Soup for the Soul" books were all the rage; probably still are but at a different level.
 
I have dusted one off my book shelf which has this written inside the front cover: "To Mom, Merry Christmas 1995, Love Ed & Merry":
 
A couple of short exerpts from Chapter 4 titled 'On Learning':
 
Learning is finding out
what you already know.
 
Doing is demonstrating
that you know it.
 
Teaching is reminding
others that they know it
just as well as you.
 
You are all learners,
doers, teachers.
 
~ Richard Bach

The Magic of Believing
 
I'm not old enought to play baseball or football.
I'm not eight yet.
 
My mom told me when you start baseball,
you aren't going to be able to run that fast
because you had an operation.
 
I told Mom I wouldn't need to run that fast.
When I play baseball,
I'll just hit them out of the park.
Then I'll be able to walk.
