Inspiring Example

February 24, 2010


My brother brought this to my attention — Herschel Walker’s mixed martial arts debut.  This guy is awesome!  He’s 47 years old.  He’s in tremendous condition, and he shows what is possible with focus, hard work, and determination.  Now, all of us aren’t world-class athletes like Herschel, but all of us can be in great condition past 40!  Check out Herschel in the following clip.  Also, check the physique from minutes 1:13 to 1:23. swfobject.embedSWF("http://www.youtube.com/v/PSsgbMpD_fw&rel=0&fs=1&showsearch=0&showinfo=0", "vvq-1293-youtube-1", "425", "344", "9", vvqexpressinstall, vvqflashvars, vvqparams, vvqattributes);

The Truth About Weight Loss, Part 2

An Indispensable Key to Success

February 1, 2010


What is one of the indispensable keys to success?  In a word — excellence. Bryan Tracy says that all successful people are very good at something, where that “something” is what has caused them to become very successful. Here’s a proverb I love: “Do you see a man skilled in his work?
