May 21, 1928- October 26, 2009

Do all the good you can,

By all the means you can,

In all the ways you can,

In all the places you can,

At all the times you can,

To all the people you can,

As long as ever you can.

Monday morning, my grandfather, Paul J. Meyer lost his battle with cancer. He was a wonderful grandfather and philanthropist who practiced his Christian beliefs daily. He will forever influence my life and will never be forgotten. Love you Paw-Paw.

Here are some of my favorite quotes from him:

?Whatever you vividly imagine, ardently desire, sincerely believe, and enthusiastically act upon must inevitably come to pass.?

?Enter every activity without giving mental recognition to the possibility of defeat. Concentrate on your strengths instead of your weaknesses, on your powers instead of your problems. ?

?Enthusiasm glows, radiates, permeates and immediately captures everyone?s interest.?

?Success is the progressive realization of predetermined, worthwhile goals.?

?Do a little bit more than average and from that point on our progress multiplies itself out of all proportion to the effort put in.?

?Crystallize your goals. Make a plan for achieving them and set yourself a deadline. Then, with supreme confidence, determination and disregard for obstacles and other people?s criticisms carry out your plan.?

?Mistakes are merely steps up the ladder.?
