The Wisdom of Winners Part Two

Author: Jim Stovall

This book is a collection of columns that have been read by millions of people over the past years. Jim's wisdom and expertise on a particular subject give his writings great credibility. It is worth noting that Jim wrote many columns about adversity and its impact, even though some did not know about his past. Jim aspired to be an NBA basketball player and possessed the mental and physical abilities to succeed. He was also an Olympic champion in heavyweight powerlifting, but his plans were met with great challenges. During his time at Oral Roberts University, Jim was diagnosed with macular degeneration, which caused him to lose his sight. Jim then graduated from university with the help of Crystal, who tutored him and whom he later married. Most blind people became frustrated and desperate and applied for government benefits, but Jim did not. Jim once told his father (who worked at Oral Roberts University) after he became blind that he wanted to work for himself. Jim's father then introduced him to Lee Braxton, a financial contributor to the university. Jim was fortunate to meet Braxton because he was a wonderful example of overcoming adversity and founded many successful companies, including a bank. Lee Braxton was also a close friend of Napoleon Hill. After Hill's death, Braxton delivered his eulogy in 1970. Braxton not only learned the principles in Napoleon Hill's book "Think and Grow Rich," but he also applied them. Braxton recommended that Jim Stovall read "Think and Grow Rich," which helped him achieve financial and personal success. You will undoubtedly be rewarded for reading Jim Stovall's columns on topics such as the value of wealth, lifelong learning, the importance of controlling your time, the necessity of doing your best, seeking opportunities, what matters in life, and many other articles in this book.
