We had a great day today, a bunch of us from the congregation went to a seminar called Get Motivated. It was aimed at business people and entrepreneurs, but I thought anyone would have benefited from hearing the messages from the speakers. The line-up included Sarah Palin, Rick Belluzo (former COO of Microsoft), Rudy Giuliani, Colin Powell, Lou Holtz, and four others.
We heard a lot of things that could make a difference, if we will act rather than just having enjoyed the speakers. My favorite over all was Colin Powell, he stood out among those giants. His practical solutions to problems of life and common sense were very uplifting and inspirational.
The one thing I want to give some thought to was asked by Lou Holtz--"If you were to never make it home again, who would miss you and why?"

Sounds like quite a line-up
I imagine you did have a great day. Pass on some more wisdom please.
That is a good idea, Jane,
I'll post some of my favorite points, perhaps later today or tomorrow.

I used to frequent these sort of
events here - but "dropped out" for a while. I've heard some great speakers over the years and always get something from them.

I am not one who needs much cheerleading, Elly
so I don't usually attend such rah-rah sesions. But this one was too good to pass up for just $20 bucks

Elly, Hutt, it was almost unbelievable
how many great speakers were on the agenda for such a small ticket price. Lots of laughs, but also lots of wisdom flowed throughout the day.
