Every person is wearing the same sign and you might learn one of the great secrets of happiness and success if you will learn what that sign says and then see if you can do what it says...  This is more original with me than it is with Dale Carnegie, but I guarantee you that he would roundly applaud my idea and probably claim a little bit of as he's own.  So listen it's only about 12 minutes today and this turbulent Thursday, but if you will listen to this listen, maybe even a couple

It is what is called one of my signature statements. Most of my students around the world and coaching clients will hear this often. What are you fearful of today?  How can I help you fear less?  There are many things to be afraid of and the world today is in a mess because most of the leaders of our organizations have shown themselves to be incompetent, and often because they do not do what is right.  They do things to protect themselves, to enhance themselves, and take care of themselves rather
