Learn to Speed Read Your Way to Success
You must learn to Speed Read.
By Ray Coppola


You must learn to Speed Read. It’s easy and fun and will enable you to read an average book in an hour or two. Your confidence will grow ‘sky high.’ Here is how:
- Read the first three paragraphs and the last paragraph of each chapter. Read the first line (if necessary) of each paragraph.
- Read the first and the last chapter of the book but with two caveats: the first is that you are learning from it, and the second is that you are enjoying it.
Einstein said there are only two ways to view life, as though everything is a miracle or that nothing is a miracle. Constant learning is the miracle of human existence. Always remember that the moment a flower stops growing, it begins to die, and the day we stop learning, we begin to die.
So now it’s time to dig deep. Look at the ‘energy construct’ you were born with, which is explained in my book, “Empowering Children for Success.” It is the driving magnetic force unique to each of us that we are all born with concerning what in life we are most attracted to and find easy and enjoyable to learn. This is the reason you might love cooking, and your sister may love engineering, medicine or anything else.
No matter what your age may be right now, it is never too late to start over again.
OPTIONAL THINKING
Decades ago, Richard Bach wrote a best seller entitled, “Jonathan Livingston Seagull.” But his second book, “Illusions” was a work of genius! It tells the story of the Messiah, who returns to earth as a crop duster pilot in the Midwest because he loved to fly. One day a guy in need asks him for help. Being the Messiah, of course he helps the guy. Word gets around, and before you could sneeze, he did not have time to fly anymore. So, what could he do? What options did he have?

HE QUIT BEING THE MESSIAH!
We are usually taught to have one or two opinions about certain aspects of life. But not the Messiah! Neither did W.E. Deming. When no American corporation would hire him with his ‘quality theory,’ he went to Japan. They embraced him and Japan quickly became one of the economic power empires of the world.
Let Him and the fictional Messiah be your model mentors. Find your own ‘energy construct’ as they found theirs.
Stay Blessed! Not Stressed!- Ray-man
LIFE
(I had a dream, and the angelic voice of my dream said)
Life is a dream
within a dream
within a dew drop falling
through a solitary ray
of the rising sun.
