I just watched Dr. Randy Pausch on Oprah today.
I’m inspired.
So today’s message is dedicated to PROFESSOR RANDY PAUSCH . . .
From the book Head First by Norman Cousins. . .
Dr. William Bucholz tells the story of overhearing two physicians discussing a paper they were to deliver at a national meeting of cancer specialists.
One was complaining bitterly, “I don’t understand it, Bob. We use the same drugs, the same dosage, and the same schedule of treatment. Yet I get a 22 percent recovery rate and you get a 74 percent recovery rate. How do you explain that?”
The other responded, “We both use Etoposide, Platinol, Oncovin, and Hydroxyurea. You put those letters together and tell people that you are giving them EPOH. I put them together and explain to them that they are receiving HOPE. I emphasize that they have a chance."

Jim Berry, a brilliant Success Hotline caller, coined an acronym for HOPE . . .
