aslk start every day

The first professor decided he would discredit
the second guy. His plan was, he would read one of the
self-help books, follow its instructions to the letter... and
then... since he knew none of these instructions would
actually work... he would write a book exposing the
"how-to" book author as a fraud.

So, he read one of the books, followed all the
instructions... and... unfortunately for him...

His Life Started

Getting Better!

t Setting goals did work.

t Keeping a positive mental attitude did work.

t Visualizing himself as the improved self he desired to be did
work.

t Planning his work and working his plan did work.

Etc., etc., etc.

Ain't that a bitch? What's the world coming
to? You set out to discredit a man and then discover his
advice is actually helping you!

Anyway, I've got
another book in front of me now titled, If
I Knew Then What I Know Now. In this book, CEO's and other
smart executives share wisdom they wish they'd been told 25
years ago. It's pretty good. Here's one very short observation
from page 144 by a columnist named Whit Hobbs:

"Success
is waking up in the morning, whoever you are, however
old or young, and bounding out of bed because there's
something out there that you love to do, that you
believe in, that you're good at -- something that's
bigger than you are, and you can't hardly wait to get
at it again today."
