If you were the leader of your country and two other countries wanted to take over your country would you fight for a while and give up or would you fight "no matter what the difficulties" and embrace the motto - Never, Never Give Up? If you were a surgeon, a Medical Doctor, and the Pathologist at the hospital said there was no hope for your patient would you give up or embrace the motto- Never, Never Give Up?
During the darkest days of WW11 Prime Minister Winston Churchill stayed strong for his country! In 1941, Prime Minister Winston Churchill visited the Harrow School where he heard the traditional songs he had sung as a youth and spoke to the students on changing world events in the last year. Germany and Japan were expanding their control. In his closing remarks, Churchill said, "But for everyone, surely, what we have gone through in this period--I am addressing myself to the School--surely from this period of ten months, this is the lesson: Never give in. Never give in. Never, never, never, never--in nothing, great or small, large or petty--never give in, except to convictions of honor and good sense. Never yield to force. Never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy."
Prime Minister Winston Churchill also said, "Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts."
My father, Dr. Robert J. Frank was my hero. He was a healer of patients. Every day he saved the lives of his patients. When the Pathologist at the hospital said there was no hope for a patient because of the numerous tumors, my father, Dr. Frank said, "Just show me where all the tumors are and I will remove every one of them." He never gave up on saving the lives of his patients. My Father, Dr. Robert J Frank improved and saved the lives of thousands of patients for over 45 years.
No matter how difficult the problem was Prime Minister Winston Churchill and my Father, Dr. Robert J. Frank would Never, Never Give Up! Winston Churchill kept his country safe and strong and Dr. Robert J. Frank saved the lives of his patients. They would Never, Never Give Up! The next time it becomes too difficult for you to solve your problems I want you to do the following three things:
1) Always have a paper and pencil ready, where ever you are, in case you think of a solution to your problem. Think of yourself as a detective like Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson and look for your solutions at work or at home.
2) Give yourself time each day to ponder your problems. Be observant and a good listener. Start thinking how to solve your problems today!
3) Have a burning desire to solve your problems and Never, Never Give Up!

Have You Ever Left an Interview Wishing You Could Make a New First Impression?
How I learned the importance of first impressions while playing at Carnegie Hall with Natalie Cole and Lou Rawls. For your first interview on a possible new job, learn the six secrets to make your first impressions memorable to Ace that job.
When I played at Carnegie Hall with Natalie Cole and Lou Rawls I learned the secrets of making a good First Impression and commanding attention. Lou Rawls and Natalie Cole took turns each singing a musical set. Natalie Cole walked on to the stage looking fit, trim and quite regal wearing a different absolutely, magnificent dress for each musical set. One dress was more dazzling than the other. She made eye contact with her audience making each person feel as if they were her friend. The audience was riveted to the stage. They could not take their eyes off her.
Lou Rawls walked on stage looking fit, trim and quite kingly wearing a magnificent tailored tux. He made eye contact with his audience making them feel they were an important part of his concert.
Lou Rawls and Natalie Cole both sang beautifully with clear diction. Every word was clear and understandable. The concert ended with a standing ovation.
What are the secrets I learned from Natalie Cole and Lou Rawls?
1) Dress for success. Dress neatly and cleanly with your hair combed and your shoes polished. Wear clothes that are appropriate to the job you are interviewing for. Your appearance will tell your prospective boss that you do neat clean work, that you care how you look, and will be a good worker and representative for their company or firm. Stand tall and be proud of your appearance.
2) Everyone is attracted to fit people. Start exercising and stop eating junk food.
3) Speak clearly and at a moderate speed in a pleasing voice. Use words that show proper grammar and vocabulary. Do not use slang.
4) When you are introduced to your interviewer, remember their name and use it occasionally.
5) Be a good listener and use eye contact. Make your interviewer feel important by listening carefully, using eye contact, and asking questions on what they are discussing with you. Ask the interviewer how he or she likes their job with the company? Everyone likes to talk about themselves.
6) Use a handshake if the culture permits it. Your handshake should be given with a firm, but not a crushing grip, with a clean and dry hand. Extend your hand when you feel it is appropriate.

Did You Ever Fail Out of School?
Albert Einstein as a child was a very poor student in school. His teachers said "he was to stupid to learn." How did he become one of the smartest men of the Twentieth Century?
As an 8 year old child, I was failing out of school. I was unable to read.
How did I go from failing out of school to Carnegie Hall and a Ph.D. ?
Albert Einstein as a child was an extremely poor student in school. Albert's Mother, Pauline Einstein never never gave up on him. She was a pianist and she bought Albert a violin. As he learned to play the violin his mother would accompany him on the piano. His mother introduced him to his favorite composer Mozart.
Albert studied the violin and became quite good at it. He found his inspiration to do his school work and to later solve his scientific investigations by playing on his violin.
Dr. Einstein said, "Life without playing music is inconceivable for me. I live my daydreams in music, I see my life in terms of music."
As an 8 year old child, I was failing out of school. I was unable to read. My Momma, Romayne Leader Frank, Never, Never gave up on me. She tried every type of reading class available, and still, I was unable to read.
One my passions at 8 years of age, was climbing trees. I was your typical tomboy and I was fearless. For me no tree was too high. The only problem was I'd wind up being rushed to the hospital several times a week for stitches.
The final time I was rushed to the hospital, after my reading class during summer camp, I had climbed a tall tree with nails and a board sticking out of the top of its trunk. As I came down the tree, I was scooped up by a camp counselor and rushed to the hospital. At the time I did not realize it, but blood was dripping down my leg.
One of the camp counselors called my Momma. She drove for over 3 hours to the hospital and by the time she arrived she had decided it was time to "get me out of those trees, on the ground and finally reading." By the time Momma arrived at the hospital she had decided that she would arrange for violin lessons for me if I would agree to give up climbing trees.
Momma knew I had wanted to study the violin for several years and at the hospital "I promised her" I would give up climbing all trees if she would arrange for violin lessons.
As soon as I began to study the violin, I learned to hold the violin,to hold the bow, to read the notes on the page, and to play music. I also learned how to take care of my violin and bow and to clean it after playing it.
That summer the light went on and I became a very good reader.
Albert Einstein's Mother, Pauline Einstein and my Momma, Romayne Leader Frank believed in two things, unconditional love for their families and education.
Our Mothers never gave up on anything and neither should you!
What are the 3 secrets Albert Einstein and I learned while studying the violin?
1) How to concentrate, be disciplined, be cooperative, and stay motivated.
2) How to take care of our violin which taught us self esteem and self-worth.
3) How to read musical notes on the page taught us to read the words in a book.
These are the same character building traits American children need to be successful students in school.
