Two years ago, I attended a self-improvement
seminar in Little Rock. Upon my return to work, my boss asked me what I
learned. At first I was taken aback because I had not stopped to evaluate
whether I had learned anything. It was fortunate that I actually paid attention
and took notes. I promptly typed up the wisdom that I had gleaned from the team
of speakers. In retrospect, I realize that the messages and wisdom spouted by
the big name presenters applied to everyone, young and old.
Living in a small town, I have not
had many more opportunities to attend more self-improvement seminars. What I
learned was too good not to share, so I have posted the highlights below.
