Wow,
Sam, Judy, Nick and Thomas,
What a line up. It could fill Carnegie Hall.
Follow that with the great Terry and we have a show to top all.
This is not just about boosting egos.
On a daily basis I see what happens at Adland. There are marketers and networkers and gossips and jokers and encouragers and...........
Yes ''All life is represented here'' in all it's forms negative and positive and with its share of sorrow and humour, BUT, above all there those whos obvious caring and patient ways oversee us all. The folks that I mentioned are among that elite. These guys are not overforceful or moralistic or ''In your face'' but are always here, popping up in forums showing real interest and offers of help, with prayers and worldly solutions in proportion to the need.
I know that none of these folk seek fame. They have shown us all that when a variety of ideas and skills and human understanding come together the result is awesome.
This forum is just that, awesome.
My daily contact with challenged and tortured lives has led me to realise that my problems are real but managed whereas others have lost that feeling of control. My dealings with Terry gave me a new way of dealing with ''Where do I start'' when facing a new client.
My training and experience had taught me a system. A system that had a start and a goal, but, I was sometimes aware that the person in front of me didn't share my knowledge of NLP or hypnotic power and had to learn before I could progress. The main thing that I have learned through Terry is to be grateful for now. Now I know that I teach my client just that.
When talking to a man who faced several months of depression and fear whilst being held on bail for a crime he didn't commit I was able to say ''I just saw a film of a guy in Zimbabwe who has been beaten every night for a month for asking for his seized lands back'' and to relate that he was grateful to be alive because his friends had been taken somewhere else and killed. My client could relate because at least he was sure that he would have a chance to prove he was innocent. He picked up his heart, set some goals and did just that.
All these guys are tireless workers who seem to show no signs of there toil.
They show an attitude of virtue.
