It is a sad day when we lose someone so young. The blessing is that Michael Jackson is free from all his pain and suffering.

We will be continually blessed with his music for as long as we live, which is a wonderful thing.

When I was younger (I am 65) I rarely listened to Michael’s music and therefore never appreciated him. For the past 5 years, I have been a DJ for my sister’s wedding reception facility (the Grand Loft) and now I play his music at nearly every reception. I have learned to appreciate him and his many talents. Hey, see old dogs can learn new tricks.

Michael will be missed my millions of people and my prayers go out to his family and friends.

There are movie stars who are great actors and then their are movie stars who are great human beings and I believe Will Smith is one of the latter. That does not mean he is a perfect human being, it’s not necessary to be perfect to be great.

You will enjoy this interview. He talks about the power of making a decision and how the universe will move out of your way. Sure, someone could argue with his choice of words, but the point is nothing happens until a decision is made.

Another point I would like to mention is that he said, I am willing to die on the treadmill. He further clarified what he meant when he said no one could out work him. What a great attitude.

Well, go ahead and enjoy the interview. You will want to watch it several times.
