Discover the single most powerful and life-changing success message you will ever hear.
Recorded in 1956 in Chicago.
Born in Los Angeles, California in 1921, by 1933, his father had left him, his mother and two brothers. At the bottom of the Great Depression with millions unemployed, Earl’s mother worked at the WPA sewing factory to provide for her three boys. They lived in a tent in Tent City, behind the Mariner Apartments on the waterfront in Long Beach, California, and while being poor didn’t seem to bother most of the other kids, it bothered Earl, and he wanted to know why they were so poor, while others, he observed, appeared to be so rich. Why some people were so miserable, while others, so happy. Simply, what made people turn out the way they do.
When he was seventeen, eager to escape his surroundings, and explore new and exciting places, Earl joined the Marines. He was sent to Hawaii, and stationed aboard the USS Arizona. He was in his station, the morning of the attack on Pearl Harbor and was one of twelve surviving Marines on board that day.
Habits aren't changed overnight, but with discipline and persistence it can be done.
The words spoken here are truly timeless. It means we must take personal responsibility and change the things we can. The principles for success have not changed, and it will be the same 50 years from now. We must chose our thoughts carefully, and have the right attitudes.
The sad fact is that most people do not fulfill their potential. Instead many are satisfied with the status quo..... doing what most other people do.... and not living our dreams. Listening to Earl will challenge you to be all that you can be. It's very motivational. However nothing changes unless we make that decision to do so.
