Be The First

My older brother Tony was the first in our family to graduate from college. I always thought that was so cool… to be the first. He received the first ever degree in many generations of our family, and still, one of the very few today.

My brother Mike was the first Doctor in our family. I say first, because my other brother Dave, Mike’s identical twin, also became a Doctor shortly thereafter. They are the first Doctors ever in the Hughes line, that I’m aware of.

I have always wanted to be the first at something. And there are a few things I have been first at, but nothing I’m really proud of. Read more

The Secret

Rhonda Byrne felt like her life was crumbling around her. She had hit rock bottom. One day she came home to discover a gift her daughter left her. It was a book, The Science of Getting Rich. She read the book, and for the first time in her life, learned that there was truly a secret to success. If the secret she learned was real, it was not only limited to success, but anything else a person could ever want. If the secret worked, the love, the money, the health, the fame, the car, the house, the success, the goal, anything she wanted would be hers. And, it can be yours too. Read more

The next day, I went down for an interview. It was no interview at all. It was he and his business partner standing in the door way of their office just shootin’ the bull with me. After a few minutes, he said, “I like you. If you want the job it’s yours.” I said yes and was hired on the spot. I started the next day. Read more

How to Overcome Your Fears

In my life, I’ve been scared a lot. I’ve dealt with fear in just about everything I’ve done. It’s a very powerful force in most people’s life. I don’t know that it’s power ever completely leaves us, at least in my experience. It certainly doesn’t control me like it once did, but it, or something related to it, still shows up from time to time.
