Why are some people great even though they grew up in the same environment as those who did not become great, but remained ordinary?
Was it the influence of their parents and family?
Was it the influence of a special friend?
Despite the economy, bank financing, networks of support, some people simply persist with that in which they believe and become great... why?
What are their skills and abilities?
What is their personality?
What do they possess that the rest of us do not?
Who are they?
Sam Walton
Steve Jobs
Bill Gates
Michael Jordon
Andy Griffith
Martin Luther King
You know them... lived with them... read about them...
and maybe, even tried to emulate them.
What is different about the rest of us?

We were never in the right place at the right time.
I dont know, but the little town in NE where I was born, spawned
Dale Nichols nationally famous regionalist artist, my uncle
Joyce Hall founder of Hallmark cards
and Ruth Ettig, famous chanteuse back in the 20's and 30's
William Jennings Bryan was from NE as was, whats her name that wrote the Little House series of books. Oh and Henry Fonda, and my uncle, a professional baseball player who still holds the world record for pinch hitting.
Must be the corn :-)
