I am going to be brief in this article for the 34th Master Key Coaching Teleseminar. There is much adventure afoot!
This week, I recapped my interview with Guy Kawasaki. It is truly amazing to hear someone so successful speak about the principles of success that we already know because of Haanel and The Master Key System — even though during our interview we never once mentioned him!
I will be conducting more interviews throughout the year. I will keep you updated.
Instead of continuing from where we left off in Master Key Arcana, I instead jumped to the last item in the book: “If” by Rudyard Kipling.
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too:
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise;
If you can dream — and not make dreams your master;
If you can think — and not make thoughts your aim,
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same.
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build’em up with worn-out tools;
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings,
And never breathe a word about your loss:
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: “Hold on!”
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings — nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much:
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And — which is more — you’ll be a Man, my son!
Enjoy this week’s episode. There’s a lot of illuminating information there.
Until next week, I wish you and yours the best of everything!

As an individual who has been “disabled” for over five years as a result of having two brain tumors, an acoustic neuroma, and a meningioma, Harold Cameron has devoted his life — his energy, time, and resources — to being an advocate for others.
Harold says, “I am just an ordinary man with faith in the extraordinary God and by His power working in me and through me, extraordinary things are accomplished!”
In 2004, Harold Cameron was diagnosed with two brain tumors. In an instant, his life changed drastically.
Rather than wallow in depression and self-pity, Harold mustered every ounce of hope and faith and love that was within him.
The result is a plan. Despite all the odds, Harold is going to fight brain tumors and spread his message of hope, faith, and love the only way he knows how:By walking across America and back.
This is not the story of a hero. It’s not the story of a saint or a martyr.
This is the story of Harold Cameron — an ordinary man with faith in the extraordinary God.
Harold’s historic walk across America begins on April 2, 2011 in Scranton, Pennsylvania.
That same day, his incredibly inspiring book Why I Walk will also be released.
Kallisti Publishing is proud to make Harold’s book available to you. Beginning today, you can help Harold — and help others who suffer with brain tumors — by reserving your copy of Why I Walk.
By helping others, you will also be helping yourself! When you reserve your copy of Why I Walk, you will receive a 33% discount off the retail price. You will also receive a slew of very special bonuses.
Harold’s historic journey begins April 2, 2011.

What a great site! I came across it while searching for the poem “If” for a project I’m working on. It’s a website called “All Things If” and it’s an entire site devoted to the ideals of the poem. I was wondering if you would consider adding a link back to us at the bottom of your “If” post?? Thanks so much for considering. You can reach me at the above email.
