Guest guest Posted January 16, 2004 Report Share Posted January 16, 2004 Well, it took 2.5 hours of standing in line at Borders Bookstore where they required you to buy one of his books in order to get anything signed. Kinda reminded me of a Disneyland line. But we weren't there for the signing, we were there for the town meeting. Unfortunately, the town meeting turned into about 2-4 minute chats with Bill once you waited in line. In the end it was insightful to see the cross section of the people that were there, and most importantly my wife and I got to meet Bill in person. He seemed like a very genuine person. He certainly is patient, and really wanted to hear what people had to say. I was glad we took the time to meet him. I also had the opportunity to give him my two ideas on making America the healthiest country in 10 years. He was a bit shorter than I expected, but being 6'4 " , everyone usually is! ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2004 Report Share Posted January 16, 2004 Well, he seems to have genuinely liked my ideas. We'll see. I am currently in decent shape (by my own stringent standards), so it was nice to hear from Bill himself when he said " wow, you look great! " I said " I am trying " , he said " no, you're doing it! " Statments like that from a person I respect fuel my fire and inspire me to reach deeper inside myself to do more. His leadership qualities and charisma were evident. More inspirational leaders like him are what make the world a better place. It's nice to know that he's taking his success and trying to help people. He clearly understands the important aspects of life.

I'm not sure if you have seen any of his videos but I bought Body of Work a few months ago and loved watching it. He came across so sincere and so down to earth that that in itself is motivational because you feel like you can relate to him. I found his books easy to read as well. He comes off so laid back and demonstrates a desire to help people and not everyone can do that. -- -eve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
