Jesse Clifton, Fairbanks Ak Real Estate Broker Jesse Clifton Fairbanks, AK, one of the most cantankerous  sweetest most wonderful people here in the rain provoked me tagged me into doing yet another meme.

Somehow this man finds time to sell RE like a pro, take photos of the Aurora Borialis, be a wonderful husband to Kathy, and father and grandaddy and professed puppy lover and still do meme's.

Go figure??

We all know and love Jesse. Real Estate Agent: Fairbanks Ak Real Estate Broker Jesse Clifton (Jesse & Kathy Clifton, REALTORS 907-699-6024)

Jesse is a prolific writer here in the Rain and you should, if you have not, visit his blog and begin to read. You will find hours of beauty, fun, sense of humor, awesome dorkiness and just great reading.

The man attempts to become the dinner for all Alaskan bears...

and ignores signs. Anyway, he has meme'd me and this is an interesting task I have been assigned...

I must:

 

1. Grab the nearest book.

2. Open the book to page 56.

3. Find the fifth sentence.

4. Post the text of the next two to five sentences.

5. Don't dig for your favorite book, the cool book or the intellectual one. Pick the Closest.

6. Tag five people to do the same (this part is really cool)

*The one book that this can not be is the Bible*

So here I go. Yes Jess I did grab the closest (of 2) that were both in my reach from my chair...

This one wins:


Charles F. Haanel (1866-1949)
Regarded by many as the "Father of Personal Development," Charles F. Haanel is the author of the book The Master Key System as well as other books about improving the human condition.

While he was an influential person, writer, and business man, not many people know who he was or the impact that he had.

Born in Ann Arbor, Michigan, May 22, 1866, he is the son of Hugo and Emeline (Fox) Haanel, who removed with him to St. Louis when he was in early childhood. He initiated himself into the business world as an office boy for the National Enameling & Stamping Company. For this company he worked for a period of fifteen years. (read more)

 THE BOOK IS:

THE MASTER KEY SYSTEM BY CHARLES F. HAANEL OF ANN ARBOR MICHIGAN.

The Master Key System

 

GREAT READING...WRITTEN IN 1912...THIS BOOK WAS THE LEADER TO THE SIMPLER VERSION OF THE SECRET.

THE SECRET HAS BEEN NO SECRET FOR MANY YEARS AND CHARLES WILL TELL YOU HOW AND WHY AND ANSWER ALL THE QUESTIONS THE SECRET LEFT YOU WITH.

CHARLES STRUCTURES YOUR TRAIN OF THOUGHT TO BRING POWER AND UNDERSTANDING TO YOU, ME, US.

 

 

PAGE 56........SENTENCE 5.........

Make the Mental Image: make it clear, distinct, perfect: hold it firmly: the ways and means will develop: supply will follow the demand: you will be led to do the right thing at the right time and in the right way.

Earnest Desire will bring about Confident Expectation, and this in turn must be reinforced by Firm Demand. These three cannot fail to bring about Attainment, because the Earnest Desire is the feeling, the Confident Expectation is the thought, and the Firm Demand is the will, and, as we have seen, feeling gives vitality to thought and the will holds it steadily until the law of Growth brings it into manifestation.

 

Yeah baby! That's what I believe. I believe we create our own realities. Think good. Think positive, think prosperous and healthy. You will be led to this life one way or another. The way you should be....believe it. Live it and it WILL BE.

And now, oh goody. I get to provoke pick five people to do the same so watch out and get busy writing....

Deb - I mentioned this on C-s blog this morning, but as I look around the room all of the books are for 5 year olds and none of them have 56 pages :)  I do have an issue of SI here.... Page 56 is a detailed story of Albert Haynesworth.  Hmm, I guess I need to go find a book.

Well, Deb, I have to admit, that's one heck of an intro. (the check is in the mail, btw) :P  You, my dear, are a stitch!  Excellent MeME, btw.  It seems as though just about all the MeMe's I've read contain a message directly related to real estate.  This is definitely no exception.  Well done.. and I'm glad I didn't have to get eaten by a bear for you to do it!

Great job on the meme.  Jesse is one of my all time favorite people, not just here in the rain, as you say, but anywhere.  He has a wonderful heart and is a great man.
