   Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I have admired Mr. Nightingale since I was 14 years old (over 40 years ago). My dad collected his material for his personal growth. I was so intrigued with ‘the Diamond in the Rough’, et al. He’s been an inspriration to me and I hope many will take the time to hear his phenomenal message.

    If only President’s and Prime Minister’s could speak with such authority and conviction about changing a persons life, about changing a nation. One person cannot change a nation or nations, but one message can. This message should be in every school in North America. In today’s world there are a lot of people wanting or looking for change but they have no idea as to what to change. Well here is the answer,let’s all be that change in North America and the world. Let’s get “the strangest secret” out by living it. God Bless.

    Look around the country and what do you see? This is the best explanation I have heard of how we got to where we are. It is a shame; it is like America has been robbed of its life. It is also hilarious when he begins to describe what 95% of the people do with there free time. It is a convicting talk and an inspiring one at the same time. It is a much needed talk.
