Thanks for sharing your insights about Booker T. Washington. He truly was a great example of how we should live.

That quote by Booker T. Washington has always been one of my very favorite quotes. Thanks for posting it.

Booker T. was born into slavery until his emancipation at the end of the Civil War when he was nine years old. His first jobs were backbreaking work in salt furnaces and coal mines. Overcoming these and countless other “obstacles,” he became a national spokesperson for the plight of the African American in post Civil War America, and the author of 14 books. His 1901 book, “Up From Slavery” is a thrilling and inspirational book that affirms many of the themes and principles of http://www.teachthesoul.com.

Comment on What’s better than revenge? by John Chancellor

Mike,
Thanks for your heart warming comments. The Lessons are quite time consuming and I am afraid it is not possible to publish them more often. But there are several years’ worth of lessons here on the site, which should give you plenty to read for some time.

Instead of doing all the work of forwarding the Lessons, ask your friend to sign up so they will get them delivered automatically each week.

Again, thanks for your comments … and I do wish you and your family a very Happy Holiday season.

John

To the quotes on being grateful for what you have I would add Chip Conley’s, “Happiness is not having what you want but rather wanting what you have.”

Another great post about the power of words… our language influences our thoughts whether we realize it or not.

Hello John,

I thought you might be interested to know that I have been regularly sharing
your “Lessons in Life” newsletters with members of my downline Social Outbreak™ business team. Here’s the little commentary I appended to today’s great message.

Thanks much for these wonderful nuggets of wisdom.

With best wishes,
George Shears

Hello Team,
Once again, I find myself resonating strongly to John Chancellor’s “Lessons in Life” for this week. In my view, social media in its broadest sense, offers a means second to none for the “bridge building” he speaks of. I actually regard Facebook and all of the other social media sites as the evolution of a collective “new brain” for all humankind.

In this new global brain, each of us is much like a single neuron in our individual brains. The connections (or “bridges”) among us are growing at an astonishing and ever-accelerating rate of speed.

Faced as we are with incredibly dire global challenges on every hand, I earnestly hope that this new brain will enable us to become increasingly integrated in finding solutions to these impending catastrophes as one human family, instead of being constantly caught up in the madness of “us” vs. “them” that has prevailed up till now.

One of the many reasons why I’m so passionate about promoting social media is that I strongly believe it provides the means whereby ordinary people, by interacting freely with many others, can make wiser decisions in general–including about what particular products, services, etc. to buy. I also think, by its very nature, it strongly encourages businesses and service-providers of all kinds to improve their customer service–i.e., build stronger and more positive relationships with their customers/patrons/clients.

I find it very satisfying, then, to be part of what is essentially a “bridge-building” business.

To our success,
George
