I Got Fired From “The Apprentice” — But I’m Proud I Tried
If you’re reading this, it means that I’ve already been fired. The beginning of the end came when I applied to be a contestant for the latest season of “The Apprentice.” For those who don’t know, “The Apprentice” is a reality-TV series that pits sixteen contestants against one another in a string of business challenges. Needless to say, corporate skills play a huge role in one’s success on the show.

I dream of being a millionaire
I've been writing since age 12 when a classmate and I wrote stories about horses during our 7th grade history class. My friends complimented my poetry and told me I was talented as a teen. One poem was supposed to be published in the school magazine during my 11th grade year, only that publication never got off the ground. I found out at age 18 that my grandmother had been reading my diary so I threw away 3 years worth of my life and did not write for quite a while. In 1999 my pastor was preaching about everyone having a talent and how it should be used so I decided to revisit writing.

I Can Soar Like An Eagle
It took 90 years for me to learn enough to write this story. Now since I am now 90 I may be exaggerating a little, but I did start learning when I was born. Life has been wonderful and I hope I have chance to spend more of it with you. I did not have much chance early in life. I was born right smack in the beginning of the Great Depression. I was fortunate enough to have a younger brother, Don. We did everything together, we worked, we played. we laughed and cried. We did not realize that we were growing up right in the worst of times. We made the best of it. Coming from a poor family with o children there was no chance to get anything at home but enough to keep u alive. But the Great Depression taught us lot about life. That is if you wanted to hustle there was always a way to earn some cash. ow for many of us there was not much chance of getting a school education. There was work, work and more work. Sometime it was helping someone clean out their garage. The payment was we got to keep all of the old scrap metal laying around. We then called old Johnnie, a dear black may who would pickup the scrap, sell it and give us out share. Sometime it was simple s helping the pharmacist by delivering his products. Another job was staying behind at night to help the local grocer clean the stor. Any was you look at it, life was never dull. Back then I never realized that I was learning a lesson in life that would carry me through the years.

Defiant Determination
Defiant determination is your ability to put everything else aside and focus on your goal. There’s no bartering and negotiating when it comes down to hard work. No goal can truly be achieved at a high level of success unless you’re willing to put yourself in an extraordinary level of success mode.

The Rules of being in business according to Michael Scott
Michael Scott: Well David I will be honest with you. I do want the credit without any of the blame. David Wallace: Okay. We all know and love the boss of Scranton Pennsylvania’s own Dunder Mifflin Paper Company. We also simultaneously cringe uncontrollably and unconsciously; laughing at Michael Scott’s antics—yet that laughter has an undertone of embarrassment and nervousness. We want him to stop(the social anxiety of watching him flail/fail/fall and keep mowing onward anyway)—-yet we cannot wait to see more!

LIFE
If we don’t defeat what is controlling us, then this can defeat us, and if we do not conquer ourselves, we are then conquered by ourselves. If we don’t set a base line standard for what we accept in life; we will find it easy to mistake into quality of life that is far below what we deserve. The biggest adventure we can ever take is to live the life of our dreams. And it is very true that we only begin to live when we discovers the dream of our lives. So, we don’t need to ask what the world needs; but what makes us alive, because the world needs people who come to live, and those are people who have discovered the dreams of the lives. So, the greatest use of life is to spend it doing something that will outlast it.

From Adversity To Heroism
Growing up in the 1970's-1980's, one of the most recognized and popular films to hit the screens was the Superman series, which consisted of three sequels, with a fourth that was later released in 2006, with a different cast. The first four movies of the series were simply titled Superman (1978), Superman 2 (1980), Superman 3 (1983), and Superman 4- The Quest For Peace (1987), and in each of these films, Superman himself was played by no other than American actor, the late Christopher Reeve. Superman, of course, is a fictional superhero who first shot to fame via Action Comics #1, in which writer Jerry Siegel and artist Joe Shuster teamed up to create a character that so many children, and even many adults, so wanted to be. With super powers such as superhuman strength, x-ray vision, heat vision, cold breath, super speed, enhanced hearing, the ability to fly, and much more, Superman became a child idol. Christopher Reeve played the part to perfection in the films, and basically became the face of Superman. At the age of 24, Reeve was tall, but slender, and in order to fit the role of a character that was pictured as being strong and muscular, he had to undertake a demanding 2 month training regimen, consisting of running, weightlifting, and trampolining, which saw him add on 14kgs to his muscle weight. Like any other human being on the planet, the Superman that we saw in the films was not exempt to adversity and challenge in real life, as being Christopher Reeve himself. As a teenager he suffered from loss of hair in patches, courtesy of a disease called alopecia areata, he was an asthmatic, he had several severe reactions to various drugs and antibiotics, including one in which made his heart stop, he received treatment for an infected pressure ulcer, and he would have several serious infections that originated from his bone marrow, many in which were life threatening. Reeve's biggest adversity of his life came in 1995 though. When out participating in a horse riding event, as horse riding and equestrian was one of his biggest passions in life, the horse he was riding came to a sudden halt prior to jumping a fence, propelling Reeve forward. He became tangled in the reins, before landing head first over the fence, which resulted in his first and second vertebrae becoming shattered. The injury paralyzed him from the neck down, as his breathing was also halted until paramedics arrived. The man recognized as Superman, had sadly become someone who lost the ability to ever walk again.

The direct route to your personal success is dependent upon you turning the station. Tune into the success station by tuning into your own goals and dreams.
