Speaker Paul wants to help students

New year, new opportunities. Would count it a privilege to bring my "Keep Your Uniform On" speech to your college sports team, college assembly or high school assembly. I come to serve students. How may I assist you? Thank you. hashtaghtag

Don't Believe It

I enjoy speaking to students on overcoming their challenges and if I could offer one piece of advice as high school and college students return to their studies it would be this:

Don’t believe people that tell you, you can be anything you want to be in your career. Rather ponder this: “You can ‘try’ to become anything in your career.

I am all for goals, hard work etc. but sometimes a particular opportunity never happens. It doesn’t mean that a plan B, C or D, will not bring career fulfillment. For example, my father wanted to become a farmer and he ended up managing a gasoline service station for almost 40 years.

So students give it your best shot with your first career goal and if it doesn’t work out, try something else. Don’t get stuck in the disappointment when something else may become a road to a fulfilling career.

Facing Fear in Sioux Falls, South Dakota

Recently, I traveled to Sioux Falls for a speaking engagement. My plan was to talk to junior high and high schools on my usual theme: ‘Keep Your Uniform On.’ Part of the presentation was on how to overcome fear.

As I traveled in my car on the South Dakota interstate and freeway, I thought how ironic is it that I have a real life example on how to face fear because the heavens were opening up with buckets of rain.  I couldn’t see the road.  So being a Christian, I prayed for help and safety. It was still extremely difficult but I made to my hotel.

The next day, unknown to my audience, I had practiced in a real way what I would say about fear later.

Fear is a real emotion and a difficult one. Sometimes all we can do is persevere. Are you facing your fears?
