The dirt roads we travel in life can be bumpy but it helps us to appreciate the smooth ones

One of the funniest things I could never understand is why someone would not take the advice of someone who has DONE what they are trying to do, but in turn take the advice of someone who has no clue or idea of how to do what they seek to do....

I may not be able to change the world I see around me, but I can change the way I see the world within me.

In helping others, we shall help ourselves, for whatever good we give out completes the circle and comes back to us.

If you are not willing to risk the unusual, you will have to settle for the ordinary

In order to succeed, your desire for success has to be greater than your fear of failure

Books that should be Required in School by Blake Adams

I believe the books, "How to Win Friends and Influence People" by Dale Carnegie and "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill should both be required reading in school. "How to win friends and Influence People" teaches you how to communicate effectively and get along well with other people. "Think and Grow Rich" teaches you how to get whatever you want in life, accumalate wealth, and live an have overall happier existence. Both books are essential for personal development and critical to anyone wanting to improve themselves. If everyone applied the principles in these two books this world would be a much safer and happier place to live.

Why does everyone not work on self development? What is bigger, your Ego or your bank account? Read Think and Grow Rich to start today!
