ReplyDelete"I am convinced that the common theme amongst extraordinary people is; their whole integration. Their philosophy of life is integrated into the nervous system so well they can only follow it in all they do.

ReplyDeleteA wealthy businessman in his nineties once said to me, "Let me tell you the great thing about making a fortune, and losing it, and making it again. Its good to get knocked on your back-you learn things you need to know. When I was a young man I thought I was my businesses, bank accounts, and limousines. Then the 1929 depression came and I lost everything, and had to begin again. Then I found out that I was not any of my possessions but rather the force inside that allowed me to acquire them. And that is something that no external circumstance can take away."
