  Jack Canfield has really influenced me,when I was growing up my father told me that I will never make it, I have struggled in my life so much that I shed tears whenever I see simple things that I can do but am not able to do, it has really taken me many years, but when I got hold of Jack Canfield's book The Success Priciples, am right now doing my best to fulfill that which is on my heart, am not there yet,I want to learn more because I believe within me
  I have a lot that I can do

  Coach John Wooden’s “Pyramid of Success” is a masterpiece!
  I encourage everyone to click the link below and check it out!

  I received a copy of Coach Wooden’s “Pyramid of Success” at his basketball camp when I was 13 years old. In my opinion it is one of the greatest life empowerment tools ever created! Some consider Coach Wooden to be the greatest basketball coach of all time and I would have to agree with that. However, he was a “Teacher” first and foremost and an amazing Life Coach & Mentor for all of his players and everyone else he crossed paths with. He lived to be 99 years old and the example he set for others as a human being is second to none! I encourage all adults, parents and young people to explore Coach Wooden’s website, the “Pyramid of Success” and his many books he authored. His content, teachings and philosophies are extremely empowering and timeless! Thank you Coach Wooden for influencing my life and everything you did to empower, inspire and influence the lives of others. Your legacy lives on!

  JERRY GRANT

  My high school music teacher at Hollywood High Jerry Grant had a positive influence in my life. He made our harmony classes fun by relating classical music harmony and theory to current day pop music.

  I remember bringing him some of my pop songs I had written as a teenager and how positive and encouraging he was, complimenting me on my sense of melodic structure. When I look back on those songs I realize they were not that great. I was just starting out, but he still found something in my writing to compliment me on. I respected his opinion as a jazz and film/tv composer so to hear his compliments about my songs was a big deal to me at 17 years old.

  After I graduated high school I took some private composition lessons from Mr. Grant which helped me a lot in understanding composition, melodic and harmonic structure.

  Teachers can have a positive or negative influence on a young person's life. I feel blessed and grateful that Mr. Grant was my high school music teacher.

  Here are the links to his Wikipedia page and website.
