Hi Brandon:

You have a post that is an awesome read, very inspirational. I have a suggestion for you. If you publish your story, in the form of motivational books for children, and promote, it could be a best seller and think of the benefits it will give to young readers. I am more concerned about doing something for the next generation, and I am sure you are that kind of person too.

Good luck

These are some pretty awesome lessons..

Was not sure what I was about to read when I saw the word milkman in the title but was a good read.

What an inspirational post!

Most of our grandparents (other than those born into money) have such stories to tell.

Our grandparents’ generation faced real adversity, and I think we can learn from that.

For most of us, the only adversity we’ll have to face is our computer crashing.

So if our parent’s parents could make it, so can we.

Haha, you're right about that. We are a somewhat spoiled generation compared to theirs. Thanks for chiming in! .-= Brandon Cox´s last blog post: Infiltrating the Cloud In Which People Breathe =-.

This is a great post and one I think will help a lot of people.

All the time we see people telling others that they should try an original approach and then just copying others.

The lesson I think isn’t to copy what he did but to copy the idea of creating an original solution, and not letting others tell you it won’t work.

Absolutely! And, for the record, he sold his business at its peak and retired rather than trying to keep alive an idea that probably was about to lose steam.

Copy what he did exactly and you’re headed for bankruptcy, haha. Good point.

Very true, James, and I’m permanently thankful for his example. And I often see myself doing things he would have done – must be in the blood… I hope.

Yes, it all begins with a vision. So many great achievers have said this as to be beyond doubt. It must feel really great to receive this words of wisdom from within your family Brandon. You saw with your own eyes how these nuggets of wisdom worked powerfully in front of you. Compare this to others who just read it from books and have yet to see real life instances of their effectiveness. .-= James Moralde´s last blog post: AmplusnetPrivacyTools.exe Eating Up CPU Resources =-.
