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."

What a great observation.

Listen: I'll tell you something: I teach
people all about how to do a mathematical, marketing
regression analysis, how to access Nasdaq Level II quotes, how
to massage complex statistics, how to create engineered
reciprocity, how to profitably navigate the Internet with
their PC's, and an endless variety of other complex,
highly-technical shit.

But you know what? The really important
wisdom... the stuff which will really
change your life... is simple. In fact, it's so
simple, it could rightly be considered downright corny.

I've been thinking: What if I were on my death
bed? What if I had only a few minutes left? What if God told
me to use those last few minutes to tell someone the single
most important thing I knew? What if it had to be the one
thing... that... in my opinion... would enhance their life
more than anything else I could ever tell them?
