Hey Kids -- Readers are Leaders!

There was a man named Dale.  Dale spent over 70 years of his life learning ways to win friends and influence people.  He became highly skilled and well respected.  In the process, he took careful notes and eventually wrote a book.










There was another man by the name of Vic.  Vic went to college to become a doctor.  He then continued his education and became a psychiatrist.  He too spent about 70 years of his life researching and learning. He concentrated on learning the meaning of life and helping others find meaning in their lives.  Along the way, he also took careful notes and wrote a book.







Once there was a young man who did not want to spend 70 plus years of his life learning how to do things the hard way. He wished there was some kind of pill he could take to make him smarter.  One day, he was complaining to his dad about why someone had not invented such a pill. His dad said that there was something like a pill that would work like a short cut.  In fact, he could get the knowledge another person spent a lifetime learning in just a few hours.

The young man got excited and said he'd like to see such a thing.  His dad then took him to the library and picked out Dale Carnegie's book "How to Win Friends and Influence People" and Victor Frankl's book, "Man in Search of Meaning."

There was a problem though. This young man did not like to read. In fact, it annoyed him that his parents and teachers were always after him to read.  He decided to try this new short cut.  The more good books he read, the smarter he got.  The smarter he got, the more he liked to read!

There was once a poor black girl who liked to read.  Today Oprah Winfrey is one of the wealthiest and most influential women in the world.







Abe Lincoln liked to read and he is one of the most loved and well respected men in the world.


 So remember - READERS ARE LEADERS!
