I think that this is one more step on a learning curve that began over 25 years ago. I firat made a trip of over 8 hours to Toronto to see Zig Ziglar. Purchased some of his books and tapes and that was the beginning. This has led to many others including Jim Rohn, Anthony Robbins, Les Brown.

 I am a member of the Speakers Bureau and I am speaking to 1000+ people. Sharing some of the things I have done, the obstacles (situations), and what helped me. And somewhere in the crowd something I have realated has made a difference in the life of one person and that person also shares his story and he (she) also makes a difference.

 The Bald Eagle

 Eagles project an air of self confidence and intelligent. I have a collection of seven ceramic eagles. Each one was purchased after I have met someone who has impressed me because they have unique qualities. Eagles do not flock - you find them one at a time.

 A mixed breed dog.

 Benjamin Franklin, Mother Theresa, Les Brown, Denis Waitley, Goethe

 All these people have 'made a difference' and I think that they all have something to teach me (if I am open to the learning). Studying the names again, I think that one of the strengths they all have is' service to others'.
