  To FrenchBabyFace:
  
  Thank you for those quotations. You know, it is very interesting that experts in the industry of motivational speaking, sales, self-help, have all come to similar conclusions about the correlation between emotion, conviction, and reality.
  
  I wonder how many times these experts have exerted the same influence over their audiences during high priced seminars and public speaking engagements.
  
  It seems even those who would warn us and protect us are also guily of the same tactics. Interesting, huh?
