| PERSONAL GROWTH CLASSES ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Several years ago, while surfing online, we came across a very powerful quote from legendary baseball player Jackie Robinson --"Life is not a spectator sport. If you're going to spend your whole life in the grandstand just watching what goes on, in my opinion you're wasting your life." We've patterned a series of personal growth classes upon the philosophy embodied in Mr. Robinson's quote. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
