Lee, I always love reading your missives. Different ones strike different chords. Thanks for all your inspirational yet common-sense e-mails ... even when we're not in a difficult economic climate, your well-crafted words always offer something useful, practical and, well, I hate to use "inspirational" twice, but your positivity is just that.

Recently you sent me an e-mail with a story challenging me to look for yellow cars a.k.a opportunity. As I sat by the office window I looked out thinking, “huh, this is New England and we don’t drive yellow cars.” I kept looking for a few minutes and guess what – a yellow car drove by on the highway. I almost fell off the chair! Every so often I’d look out and sure enough, another yellow vehicle passed by. The message came through loud & clear – opportunity is out there, we just have to recognize it when we see it. AND, be prepared when it’s shown to us.

Now when I’m going down the road & see a yellow car I automatically think - OPPORTUNITY - smile to myself and think “it’s true, opportunity is on every corner.”

I continually reference the many books that I have received from you to keep me on the right path. Your material is practical, actionable and can be applied as I go about my daily family and business activities.

I apply each message to make my life better for all the people that I come in contact with in my life.

Thanks for the e-mail Lee. I view The Nature of Excellence movie weekly... it never gets old. I have also shared it with my four daughters (three of them are triplets) and they love it as well. In fact, after viewing the movie, one daughter immediately ordered several of the posters featured in the movie - they are proudly displayed in her room.

I know they will re-visit the movie many times in the next few years. They are seniors on their Basketball team, and the message in The Nature of Excellence fits so many situations.

Thanks for all you do. You are making a difference!

You know, sometimes I think you are a mind reader. Not only have you conditioned me to be hungry for your Letter and drop everything to stop and read it, but you have me believing you have written it just for me!! You know that feeling in church on Sundays when you are sure the sermon is directed at you??? Same thing here! Thanks again for adding a bright spot to my day and giving me the encouragement to Persevere!!

Such great words! This email could not come at a better time. I was starting the think of the reasons why I'm striving to complete my doctorate. This provided me with the pick me up that I needed. I also forwarded your thoughts to several of my colleagues that I believe are in the same boat. I hope you keep inspiring people to see what we can do if we just put ourselves out there and try! In today's society he hear so little of this but I believe it is what we can all use. It is a good reminder and can serve as a big dose of support.

I'm a Lecturer at University of Karachi teaching various subjects in Management, Marketing and Communication Skills at undergraduate and graduate level. I'm also a visiting management trainer at other places.

I've been receiving your inspirational newsletters for some time now and had been collecting your tips for my personal grooming as well as for my students. This email is my very first time to acknowledge your contribution and your always high spirits as rendered in your views. I must admit that an individual makes the whole difference only if he/she recognizes one's own strength. Whenever I read your motivating words, instantly I start feeling good about myself.

Life has become so busy and relations have grown distant, all the time we are thinking of an escape which I believe is surrender for no good for any. We always need a guide, a mentor, a spring of inspiration that can make us feel worthwhile. Please accept my gratitude for being one of my source of encouragement.

I thought many times to write to you but always procrastinated and thought would anyone sitting at another corner of the world, being much much busier than me, read my mail. But now, after reading "the power of One" I'm swayed to say my THANKS to you. Thank you very much for being someone for many like me seeking another little push to find the better inside for a much better outside.

May you and your team keep on getting the prayers from around the globe forever.

Lee –

I just want to say thank you for doing what you do. I've had a pretty rough week and this message came at a perfect time. The message brought me clarity and an adjustment to my focus on where I really need to be spending my efforts. Thanks a ton!

I just wish to thank you for all the inspirational messages you had been sending throughout the year. Let me congratulate you on the fine work you are doing for folks like me and thousands of others who have learned so much from you. I am a better man today than I was a year ago and I will continue to be a student for life. Stay in touch.

I thoroughly love The LETTER and look forward to reading each publication. I wanted you to know that this issue touched my heart as I think about my dad and how he instilled similar values deep within me. I celebrate this day with you and deeply desire to leave a legacy with my daughter as well.

Marcus Laughlin
 


I appreciate receiving your emails and get so excited when reading them! There is hope for those who want to change for the best! Sometimes, I forget that... so thanks for the reminders!

I just wanted to send you a note to say ‘Thank You’ for the inspiration that you deliver through The LETTER.

I look forward to the e-mail and visit your sight for inspiration often.

Great Job, Great material...I find many opportunities to use your materials with my colleagues at work, with the senior high students in an economics class that I volunteer for as a Junior Achiever consultant, with the Boy scout and Cub Scouts programs that I help with and with my family / personal life.

Thank You for all you do.

I read and enjoy all your newsletters, but this one on “Hang On” was particularly poignant and powerful. Thanks for sharing an amazing story with your typical insightfulness.
