POINT TO PONDER
"If you're here on Earth and you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much room."
- Farrah Gray
STORY LINE
Farrah Gray had to start working at the age of six to help his poor family. Before he was ten, he started a business selling cookies and greeting cards. At the age of 12, Farrah ended up in Las Vegas when his brother moved there for a job. His entrepreneurial nature, talent in dealing with people and articulation and motivational skills were noticed by a local talk show, “Backstage Live”; and after his first appearance as a guest, he was offered a job to co-host the show. Soon after, he was invited to speak at many events for a sizable sum of money. By the time he was 14, he had earned his first million dollars. Currently at the age of 30, he is involved in various charities, motivational speaking and a foundation to teach business skills to young people and has written a book called , “Reallionaire.”
"I believe the two most important times in a person's life is when we were born and when we find out why we were born," says Gray. "And when we're able to find out why we were born, then we have found our area of excellence.
"Ask yourself three questions. First, what comes easy to me but harder to others? The second question is, what would you do for work for years and years and never have to get paid for it? And the third question is, how can you be of service and how can you give back?
Because I always say, 'If you're here on Earth and you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much room.'
