I seldom read anything that is not of a factual nature because I want to invest my time wisely in the things that will improve my life. Don't misunderstand there is nothing wrong with reading purely for the joy of it. Novels have their place, but biographies of famous men and women contain information that can change lives.

At 25, I was in the audience of my first professional speaker, Bob Bales. His presentation got my attention. I had never seen anyone having so much fun 'at work' and getting paid for it!

The usual devastating put-downs imply that a person is basically bad, rather than that he is a person who sometimes does bad things. Obviously, there is a vast difference between a bad person and a person who does something bad. Besides, failure is an event, it is not a person - yesterday ended last night.

Failure is often the line of least persistence.

If my life has had a theme, I suppose it has been a typical American theme in that, for most of it, I have been looking for happiness and success.
