  How do we travel through life? How are we to make decisions that lead to happiness? What is our purpose here? Maybe these questions are unanswerable. Or

  maybe they have a different answer for each person.\n\nThe Journey to Discover the Meaning of Life by author Dr. Edward Bednarz will take you through the lives of several individuals and show you how these very different people discovered answers for themselves. Be prepared for a roller coaster thrill of a ride as characters encounter danger

  bizarre coincidences that have no explanation

  and deep loving experiences. How do we know when we’ve fallen in love? How are we to deal with incredible adversity in life? Does God help to guide us when we are lost? All of these are part of life’s great journey. Finding meaning in life is the goal of all humans on earth. Living a life that has meaning and happiness is what we all want. Find out how the people in this book discovered it for themselves and it may just give you insight to what you have been searching for in your own life.\n

  The Journey to Discover the Meaning of Life

  I worked as a Senior Mechanical Engineer for the U.S. Army before deciding to pursue my dream of being a college Professor. I absolutely love teaching!\n\nI also wrote a fiction book called \"The Journey to Discover the Meaning of Life\" and have plans for another one.

  Tobyhanna is the logistics support center for the Army

  dealing in repair

  fabrication and overhaul of equipment needed for our soldiers. I worked in the engineering design group that tackled the challenging problems of the organization. As well as my technical responsibilities

  I took on an active role in mentoring junior engineers

  technicians and interns. I enjoyed teaching engineering fundamentals and drafting skills using CAD

  as well as sharing my lessons learned from previous projects.

  ATC is the primary testing organization for the Department of the Army. I took an active role as a project leader

  mentor and recruiter for my organization. The Command regularly acknowledged my key role in guiding the organization in a positive direction. I was the ATC ambassador to Wilkes University

  helping to bring several students on site for interviews. During face to face discussions

  I relayed the skills that were necessary for success in the workforce. Three projects in which I was the lead engineer were Vehicle Outrigger Systems

  the Bridge Crossing Simulator

  and the Dynamometer Load Cell.
