Each of us has one or more favorite persons we admire and select as a special teacher. Just as all of our real friends may be counted on one hand even so our favorite persons are few. Those we admire have something that resonates with our own value system. One of the all-time greats in the category of integrity, success and unique service was an unlikely President of the Amway Corporation and a WWII veteran. To know him is to love him for his patriotism and American values. I was first introduced to him in 1969 by a friend. Upon learning about him and his values I wanted to know more because of his communication skills, life values and integrity. He related to the "common man" and with a strong faith in God was a worthy mentor for thousands.

Regardless of the negative experiences surrounding the Amway business the Company name is a contaction of the American way, that of opportunity to better our own lives through community values, business dealings, personal growth and vision expression. 

On November 23, 2016 I woke up around 2 AM, checked on Rich DeVos and posted his all-time favorite speech, "Selling America" on Twitter. I was fervent to get Trump elected as the best person to take on Washington and "Make America Great Again". Within 10 hours a strange thing happened: Donald Trump announced Rich's daughter-in-law, Betsy DeVos as his Secretary of Education nominee! Whether this was an intuition or coincidence or not is irrelevant. It was memorable. If you want to hear the moving speech made before thousands of "Junior Achievers" just do and internet search and listen. No wonder Trump and DeVos were and are so popular with great Americans. Choose you mentors wisely.

 

Millions heard him. Thousands saw him. The "Dean of Personal Development", Paul Harvey announced, "The song of the Nightingale is stilled..." But his recordings and writings live on www.earlnightingale.com. No greater motivator ever graced the planet from the selection of mere humans. Even the sound of his voice and tonality vibrates the sound waves resulting in "goose bumps" at his frequent reference to the "carpenter from the plains of Galilee". 

I recall the moment when I first heard of his March 25, 1989 death while listening to "Insight" a publication of the Nightingale-Conant Company which he had co-founded to produce "The Strangest Secret", "Gold Record" recording in which he shared his discovery of the "key to success and the key to failure" in life. You should know that he had, along with Diana, his bride planned and arranged for the endless treasures of information to benefit all of us from the youngest to the most mature. 

What is it you want in your "holiday on earth", as Earl called it? It is all there for the taking through knowledge, wisdom and persistence toward your goals and dreams. Today is a special day for remembering and renewing our goals, our life and our destiny. It's up to us. 

Billy Cunningham had a guest on his syndicated radio show on Sunday March 11 who had predicted Trump's victory. Many Americans must have seen the "handwriting on the wall" and initiated a change away from our Nation's our downward spiral. Gerard Lameiro's new book, More Great News for America predicts a return to faith in God, renaissance of reason and a rebirth of morality, freedom, peace and prosperity. His website is www.greatnewsforamerica.com. 

I thought we had lost it for the past decade because of the difficulty in undoing bad policy in our Country. Then, unexpectedly, a man arises unlike any other to save our Nation from the doom and gloom. Not only is it entertaining but substance declares real hope. Now look at the direction in which we are headed. Not just another psychic but a "Nostradamus of Political Elections" and "America's #1 Political Analyst" by "radio and TV hosts across the country". If you look at his record you'll be excited about what he's saying about the future. A one-of-a-kind time to be alive! 

Books are capable of inspiring people to higher achievement than we might imagine. Some of our greatest advances come in times unexpected. With purpose and pre-determined goals serendipitous events are attracted to us. For a youth determined to bring himself or herself to real life change is rare. Occasionally, a story clamours for our attention when a very young child enters the spotlight for outstanding achievement.

At age 12 Earl began seriously to find answers to his questions about why some seem to have "everything" and others lived in poverty. Persisting in his search for 17 years led to reading countless books for clues to radical change he wanted. At age 29 he finally found his answer. For everyone familiar with his secret to success this "Greatest Discovery" attests to the power of purpose. If you heard his recording "The Strangest Secret", you'll be eager to read his book, Earl Nightingale's Greatest Discovery. You can obtain a copy on the website: www.earlnightingale.com. Great read!

"We become what we think about", said Earl. He searched beginning at age 12 to find the key to succeeding. You see his father had deserted him, his mother, Honey and two brothers. Living in extreme poverty he began to wonder, Why do so many fail in life while some seem to 'have it all'. His mother was busy trying to eek out an existence. Her "getaway" and way of travel was through books. Earl picked up the habit of reading to explore his fantasy of having whatever he wanted. After 17 years he discovered and recorded what he called, the "Strangest Secret".

Everyone should begin at some point his or her own search for meaning, purpose and effective service...service "our price for living on the planet". Nothing is there to hold us back but a decision. Decide, desire and start. Old Chinese Proverb: "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step".
