I thought to myself I could do this. I begged my mother to let me do the job. Two weeks later when the kit arrived, I ripped off the brown paper wrapper, grabbed the cards and dashed from the house. Three hours later, I returned home with no card and a pocket full of money. I told my mother “Mama, people couldnt wait to buy my cards!” A salesperson was born. When I was twelve years old, my father took me to see Zig Zigler. I remember sitting in that dark hall listening to Mr. Zigler raise everyones spirits up to the ceiling. I left there feeling that I could do anything. When we got to the car, I turned to my father and said,” Dad, I want to make people feel like that.” My father asked me what I meant. “I want to be an excellent speaker just like Mr. Ziger,” I replied. A dream was born.Recently, I began pursuing my new dream of encouraging others. After a four year working relationship with a major company at the height of my career. Many people were surprised that I would leave after earning a six-figure income. And they asked why I would risk everything for a dream.I made my decision to start my own company and leave my secure position after attending a regional sales meeting. The vice-president of our company delivered a speech that changed my life. He asked us,“If a genie would grant you three wishes, what would they be?” After giving us a moment to write down the three wishes, he then asked us, “Why do you need a genie?” I would never forget the shock I felt at that moment.I realized that everything I had accomplishedthe graduate degree, the successful sales career, speaking practice, training and managing for a companyhad prepared me for this moment. I was ready and did not need a genies help to make my dream come true.Having made that decision, I was immediately tested. One week after I left the company, my husband lost his job. We had recently bought a new house and needed a lot of money to pay for it, but now we both had no income. I suddenly thought of returning to my former company, knowing they wanted me to stay, but I was certain that if I went back, I would never leave. I decided I still wanted to move forward rather than return to the former company. When I held fast to my dream, even during the hard times, the miracles really began to happen. In a short time my husband found a better job, and I was able to book several new clients. I discovered the incredible power of dreams. I loved my old job, my fellow workers and the former company, but it was time to make my new dream come true. To celebrate my success I had a local artist paint my new office as a garden. At the top of one wall she wrote, “The world always belongs to the dreamer.”1.

As he stood outside the door explaining to both parents what probably would happen, they could hear the boy calling for his brother:”Ed! Ed! Come up here, will you?” The brother hurried in. Then they heard the sick boys voice, loud and high with pain: “If I go out of my head, Ed, dont let them cut off my leg.

Ed looked straight at old Dr. Conklin. “Nobody is going to cut off that leg!” he said. “But, Ed, youll be sorry.” The doctor was surprised by his action.“Maybe so, doctor. But I promised him.”“I think well just wait and see how he looks tonight.

Together he and his son would visit museums around the world and bought some finest treasures to add to their personal collection. Priceless works by famous artists such as Leonardo da Vince, Vincent Van Gogh, and Claude Monet, were soon hung on the walls of their home in New Jersey. One winter, the son was called upon t serve his country in the South Pacific, and four months later, Bell received a terrible telegram: His son had died in battle while rescuing another soldier. Feeling extremely sad and lonely the old man refused to see visitors who came to view his collection. Two years passed. Then, one day, just before Christmas, there came a knock on the door. On the stoop stood a soldier with a large package in hand. “Sir, you dont know me, but Im the soldier for whom your son gave his life. He saved many lives that day, and he was carrying me to safety when a bullet struck him in the heart and he died instantly. He often talked about you, and your love for art. The young man then held out his package, “I know this isnt much. Im not really a great artist, but I think your son would have wanted you to have this. Bell opened the package. It was a portrait of his son, painted by the young man. He stared in surprise at the way the soldier had captured the personality of his son in the painting. Tears welled up in his eyes. He thanked the young man and offered to pay him for the picture. “Oh, no, sir, I could never repay what your son did for me. Its a gift. Bell hung the portrait over his mantle. Every time visitors came to his home he took them to see the portrait of his son before he showed them any of the other great works he had collected.Bell died a few months later. According to his will, all his art should be auctioned. On the day, art collectors from around the world gathered to bid on some of the worlds most spectacular paintings. To the amazement of everyone present, the auction began with a portraits by an unknown personthe painting of Bells son.” Whats my bid for this old portrait?” called the auctioneer. “Perhaps $100?”When there was no response to his cry, the auctioneer tried again. “Then perhaps $50?” the auctioneer suggested. “Its not much, you see, for such a grand workto pay this small fee.” The room remained silent for a moment, and then one of the bidders spoke. “Who cares about that painting?” the bidder asked. “Its just a picture of his son. Forget about it and go onto the good stuff!” Many voices echoed in agreement. “This one must go first. Now , who will take it?”Finally, a voice came from the very back of the room. It was the longtime gardener of the man and his son. “Ill give $10 for the painting.” Being a poor man, it was all he could afford.The auctioneer stared at the old man wordlessly, but after a moment he turned his attention back to the rest of the bidders. “Im bid $ 10. Will anyone go higher- perhaps $20, OR MAYBE $30?” He called. There were many whispers, but no more bids. “Going once,” said the auctioneer, “going twice and now gone for good!” The hammer fell. Cheer filled the room. “Thank goodness,” said one man. “Now we can move on, and bid on the things that are actually worth something!” But there was stunned silence as the auctioneer announced the auction was over.“What do you mean its over?” cried one buyer. “We didnt come here for that ugly thing. What about the paintings? Theres millions of dollars worth of art here. We need an explanation”, “Its simple,” said the auctioneer, “according to the will of the father, James Bell, whoever takes the picture of his son gets all!”46.
