I would suspect that most people in most parts of the world would be familiar with the recent presidential inauguration of Barack Obama in the U.S. As an American, I have some real close connection with that.

I've got to tell you, apart from a person's political views, that man has done some remarkable stuff. He is a pure illustration of the philosophy that we teach in The NEW Think and Grow Rich, our philosophy of going the extra mile. Nobody could suspect that guy became President by accident, by good fortune. In fact, he's had less experience than anybody you've ever known.

And nobody can imagine a President coming into an office with more challenges than this guy has right now. And he's got that hero's attitude. He is the Savior.

Now, the guy's got skills also—he can't be a bloke to have become President by design, by intent, in a few short years. He's working with people…we've seen how he's handled his campaign. We've seen how the people—the Americans especially—are falling all over him. He is their savior. And you know what? You see this man not buckling under, not being afraid of the challenges—and he's got 'em! The economy's in crisis, the war in Iraq is in crisis, the bail-outs are in crisis, everybody's coming with their hands out now to the federal government.

We're in crisis, he's got challenges! But he's a hero, he's young, he's fresh. He's an individual, standing against the entire world. Now, note that he's a team player, he's a King Arthur, individualistic and a big hero.

The hero says, "I don't want to know the odds." He doesn't care, he's come into office to solve the problems.

Now, folks, you've got to admire this man, whatever your political persuasion is. He is illustrative, he is ambitious, he is going in with his eyes open. Of course, he can't know everything he's going to see. A hero never requires that. He's risen and is rising to the occasion.

May I wish this and more for you, too!
