In Search Of Heroes Spreads Good News About Everyday, Real-Life Heroes Who Deserve Recognition For Their Good Works

Willie Crawford: I love the whole concept because, because the youth of today are going to be our leaders of tomorrow, and anything we can do to shape their minds to set positive examples. There’s… is television is too willing to provide negative examples and that is partly because of what people want.

There is this side of humanity that you know when you drive past an accident we rubberneck and gawk and see well who was killed or whatever you know. There is a part of us that wants to see that… but there is a part of us that wants to know that man is basically good and wants proof of that.

And so the greatest impact that I can have and most of us can have is too provide positive examples, positive role models. Showing that a future spokesman helping others. If you help enough people get what they want you will get what you want.

If we just focus on helping others life will work out in your favor. It will.

Ralph Zuranski: I think that was Zig Zigler that said that.

Willie Crawford: I think Zig said it too yes.

Ralph Zuranski: He has got an amazing story it reminds me of what you talked about the necessary aspect of forgiveness, where somebody’s sitting in a car and somebody honks their horn at them and that person is down the freeway and they’ve completely forgot about honking their horn.

Willie Crawford: Yeah you’re sitting there stewing about it and they’ve forgotten about it and it’s only affecting you because you are stewing about it.

Ralph Zuranski: And Zig had a funny story about kicking the cat. Did you ever hear that one?

Willie Crawford: No I didn’t hear that one.

Ralph Zuranski: It is one well worth listening too and getting Zig’s I won’t run the experience of it for people that get a chance to listen to Zig’s material.

But the idea is that a person had a problem in the morning like they spilled coffee and they were upset about that and then they go outside and get in their car and make a mistake in driving.

And all of a sudden somebody pulls out in front of them or whatever and they’re just furious the entire day and that other person didn’t even know that they pulled out in front of them.

Willie Crawford: No.

Ralph Zuranski: And when they finally get home the cat does something, pee’s on the carpet or whatever, and the person kicks the cat and feels a lot better and Zig says the person should have kicked the cat when they got up.

Willie Crawford: Yeah. The cat won’t appreciate that.

Ralph Zuranski: No I don’t believe in abusing animals but I thought it was a funny analogy.

Well Willie I really appreciate your time. I mean you have just given an incredible value and wonderful information for everybody no matter where they are in their lives. To understand what they need to do to change themselves to become like you who has overcome tremendous obstacles to be incredibly successful.

Willie Crawford: The only person you can change is yourself. And so you know it’s an inside job. It all starts with changing yourself, your perspective, what you’re willing to risk and you go from there. And it’s also making a decision
that you’re going to do it, not just thinking about doing but doing it.

Ralph Zuranski: Yeah boy that is just timeless advice. Well again Willie I really appreciate your time.

Willie Crawford: Thank you, thank you.
