Vintage Essays By Judy Williamson, Director of the Napoleon Hill World Learning Center at Purdue University Calumnet
Dear Readers,
To become our best we must emulate those who have succeeded in achieving what it is we want to do. This sounds simple and easy enough to accomplish, but even though the evidence is plainly before us many people fail to acknowledge what works. This is why individuals not only stumble through their own success initiatives, but also why entire programs do not reach the level of success that they aspire to reach.
Simply asking the question, "What's in it for me?" is insufficient. The better question to ask is, "How will I contribute today to make the world a better place in which to live?" Don't try to save the planet overnight, just make something that you touch a little better because you have seen a need and filled it.
Our guest columnist for this week is Jeffrey Gitomer. I have met Jeffrey on several occasions and I know that he not only writes, speaks, and markets his materials, but he helps others to achieve their own dreams as well. For example, the ezine that you are reading right now is formatted and emailed weekly from Jeffrey Gitomer's office on a secure database because several years ago he learned that the Foundation had a need for this service, and he had the capacity to offer it to us as a service - free of charge! So, for the several years that you have been enjoying this ezine, you can thank Jeffrey Gitomer for providing the Foundation with the delivery mechanism to make it happen. And, we do appreciate the opportunity that Jeffrey has provided us with weekly. Thanks, Jeffrey, for making our world a better place because of your service to us!
So, in being the very best person you can become, you must add in the elements of service and gratitude. Be of service whenever you are able and also remember to give daily thanks for the personal gifts that you have received. This two step process will aid you in dedicating your life to a mission that has a meaningful purpose and positive outcome. By being the very best you can be, you set the pace for others to follow. Follow true leaders who already have traveled the course.
Be Your Very Best Always,
Judy Williamson
