You know the secret. Manifest your destiny

Young man in Omaha Nebraska found his purpose in life as early as age 7. But as a young adult he knew the whole my way to grow himself and grow his business was to take up live speaking class. When he was called upon to speak, he was so nervous he quit the class. But as he sat home and thought about what it would mean to his growth if he did not go back, caused him to return to the class. After passing the class and later becoming one of the riches men in the world he went on to say, “ when you public speak your unusual self comes out. You will increase your worth 50 or 60 percent. If you do it will be an accent for 50 or 60 years. If you do not do it it will be a liability that will last you a lifetime. This man is Warren Buffet. And when you go into his home you won’t see on his wall the degrees from his business schools but you will see the certificate he received after his completion of his public speaking class.
