    reviewed book, differnet format using magna, but same old concepts of lessons to be learned, nothing fresh or original other than format....darn, thought there might have been something orginal behind the marketing hype.

    Beware, Sunili. Beware!

    Dan, This is the one that really resonates. Dad sent me off to

    West Point in spite of my acceptance to Art Center College.

    It took 6 years (plus 4 at the Academy) and surviving a war before I could get back on track.

    I am living testimony to this Rule (and ,of course, Persistence helped to give Talent a chance to thrive). Feel free to site my personal experience as an example in your lectures.

    I used to think the same too... fooling myself that I'm keeping my options open... Not anymore.
