I attended a seminar way back in high school that had a fantastic speaker. The gentleman was a vp at some big phone company, but he started in the mail room. He did not earn a college degree out of high school.

He said, "No one owes you a job just because you have a college degree."

His advice was to approach a job expecting to start on the bottom and then work like the dickens to move up. It's the kind of idea more young people need to be exposed to.

Excellent.

BTW, what shifted me into high gear was back in the early nineties I picked up a six tape series called "The psychology of winning," by Dennis Waitley. I then followed it up with a 24 tape series by Brian Tracy (I forget the name). I still listen to the tapes as they require multiple listenings. My income increased 14 fold during this time.

The secret formula to ALL of this is:

(IA + AA) x A = PA

Where:
IA = Inborn Attributes
AA = Acquired attributes
A = Attitude
PA = Personal Achievment

You will notice that Attitude is a MULTIPLIER (if you get my drift).

This formula, applied intelligently to a persons life, is more powerful than a nuclear blast.

It literally IS the secret to success, IN ALL AREAS OF YOUR LIFE, beyond the power of the Lord in your life, of course.
