Hitting thousands of tennis balls for all that applause is nothing compared to being able to change someone's life"
I heard that quote from the former child prodigy tennis player - Andrea Jaeger.
She now runs a 'ranch' in Aspen, Colorado...where children with cancer come and stay...and remember what it is like to be a proper child again. It was an amazing sight to see the laughter on those very ill children's faces.
Andrea Jaeger was part of a TV program called "After They Were Famous"...which basically showed what former 'celebrities' were doing now that they weren't famous any more.
And you know what surprised me? (OK - perhaps it didn't really surprise me!)
I would say that at least 80% of former 'famous' people that were shown were now as successful or rich (and if not, more so), than when they had been famous! - And in completely different careers!
So - it just goes to show that once you have a success 'mindset' - the world is your oyster - even if things don't seem to work out right the first time around!
If someone can go from being rich and famous to being poor...and then being rich again at something else - don't YOU think that YOU could stand a chance of making a sucess out of SOMETHING in your life?
All you need is a 'never say die' attitude...and you will be halfway there!
