Dr. Joe Vitale’s Blog

My friend John Wood of www.oldtimestrongman.com shared this Earle E. Liederman 1926 statement:

Every man should be able to save his own life.  He should be able to swim far enough, run fast and long enough to save his life in case of emergency and necessity.  He also should be able to chin himself a reasonable number of times, as well as to dip a number of times, and he should be able to jump a reasonable height and distance.

Whew.

“Every man should be able to save his own life.”

Now there’s a quote to make you stop and reflect on your own state of fitness.

Obviously, the statement was written in 1926 for men but holds true for women, too.

Thanks for the reminder, John.

The Animal Rescue Site is cool. You go there, click “fund food for animals” and food will be donated to feed neglected and abused animals. It takes less than a minute (about 20 seconds) to go to their site and click on the purple box ‘fund food for animals’ for free.  This doesn’t cost you a thing. Their corporate sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate food to abandoned/neglected animals in exchange for advertising. Here’s the web site.

 I signed up for this free service and love it. Every weekday someone behind the Donny Deutsch CNBC television show, The Big Idea, sends a text message to my phone alerting me to what’s on that night. It’s a great reminder to watch the show. I love this idea. Congrats, Donny! 

(Left click on the image and follow directions to sign-up for the text service. It’s free but your mobile phone plan may charge you to receive the text messages.)

Note: If you can’t read the directions in the image, here’s what to do: Send the word IDEA from your phone to 26221. That’s it. Probably only works in the U.S., though.

 You’re the first to see this: It’s the June/July ’08 issue of Succeed magazine with me on the cover. (Left click on it to enlarge it.)

Their last issue had Sir Richard Branson profiled. I’m in good company. 🙂

The inside story contains several more brand new pictures and a six-page interview with me.

The story was the most revealing one ever written on me. The interview felt like therapy, as I talked about my childhood, my past struggles, and my turnaround to success — much of it never shared ever before in public.

The magazine went to press today so you can get your own copy of this collectible in-depth interview and cover story by investing in a subscription right now at www.succeedmagazine.com.au/mrfire.html
