King on Challenges
“I am not worried of the word tension.”
–Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929–1968)
American civil rights chief
Nobel Peace Prize winner
Sales inspiration…
Martin Luther King lived for just over 39 years.
He traveled over six million miles, spoke on over 2500 occasions, became an icon for civil rights, was the youngest Time magazine Man of the Year (35), and won the 1964 Nobel Peace Prize.
When you have some time (outside the money hours, of course), delight in his "I Have a Dream" speech (he was 34 when he delivered it at the Lincoln Memorial… reproduction), read his Nobel Prize acceptance, or listen to this quick audio clip from his Drum Major Instinct sermon for a small inspiration (full text of the speech).
(Tomorrow’s the 47th anniversary of King’s delivery of "I Have a Dream" at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C.)

I’ve been loving King’s book "Strength to Like" recently. If you’re a fan, I highly recommend it.
