Too many people live life as though it were a dress rehearsal for something in the near or distant future - well it isn't. It's the real thing, and it's now! Learn from the past, plan for the future, but live for the present. It's your duty to yourself to make your life exciting; to maintain a clear mind, keep informed, work hard, think smart, and have fun! To help you in this, we present Ansted University's compilation of the "The Power of Truth" and we hope you enjoy it...

--John Hay Allison

"Truth possesses within herself a penetrating force, unknown alike to error and falsehood. I say 'truth' and you understand my meaning. For the beautiful words truth and justice need not to be defined in order to be understood in their true sense."
--Anatole France

"To live in the presence of great truths, to be dealing with eternal laws, to be led by permanent ideals, that is what keeps a man patient when the world ignores him, and calm and unspoiled when the world praises him."
--Francis G. Peabody

"The ultimate test for us of what a truth means is the conduct it dictates or inspires."
--William James

Daring to be Yourself Our Blog features excerpts from the book plus current news, views and links.

Anyway, this "talk with you" really did change my life. Thank you! I needed this kind of "kick in the pants." It worked. WOW! You made a huge difference in my world."–Becky, USA Daring to be Yourself is included with purchase of the Start a New Life! home-study course, which is effectively the practical "workbook" that accompanies the paperback!
