CAUTION:
This video contains profanity!
Tony Robbins makes some excellent points in his presentation here,
but some of the language he uses will definitely be offensive to some.

Gosh! As a kid, 2010 was some futuristic science fiction scenario.
Now, here it is!
I remember the day in 1963 when President Kennedy was shot. I was in the second grade, and I heard about it on the school bus as some of the older kids got on board crying and talking about it.
I also remember watching a black and white TV program in the mid-60’s called "Lost In Space", with that whimpering Dr. Smith, the cool Robinson family, and a large robot resembling a 55 gallon drum with a flashing light for a head and flailing arms made from dryer vent tubing, alerting everyone, "DANGER, DANGER, DANGER!"

“Our Dreams are on the top shelf:
We reach them by standing on the books we read.”
(JIM ROHN)
Today is my Dad’s birthday (12-6-09). He would have been 87 years old today. A surreal feeling comes over me now as I think about being the same age as he was when he passed away, only 54. Life is so fragile, it was just too soon.
As my children tell me that I am their hero, my dad was mine as well. I recognize almost daily, something he put into me with his words and his actions – whether good, bad or ugly.
Two things stick in my mind more than anything else though. They are his love for his children, and his confidence in our abilities.
My dad helped me to believe that I can do anything, or be anything I choose. Especially with the opportunities given to us in the free world to explore and gain knowledge. And especially in America, we can chart our own course based on what we believe. That’s just another way of describing faith. Put the two together – faith and opportunity – and the possibilities are limitless.
