‘Then & Now’ well worth reading

Sun., Jan. 13, 2008

The Spokesman-Review

The highest compliments go to Steve Bergum, staff writer at The Spokesman-Review, and the rest of the writers relating to the many outstanding “Then & Now” stories.

For those who have not read these articles, I highly recommend doing so. They are filled with great messages such as: “In life, if you really want to succeed, don’t just think about it, but instead, take action and go for your dreams, your goals.”

However, remember, it takes work and a lot of motivation. It’s OK to start at the bottom as North Central’s Jimmy Lake did. Just read the Jan. 8 “Then & Now” (“Lake gets feet wet in NFL.”) There will be many obstacles along the way, but you can turn them into positive opportunities.

Read, read, read the “Then & Now” articles. It will make your life a better and successful one. I guarantee it.
