Mr. Caples was an iconic advertising figure from the 1920s (pre-Mad Men) who pioneered many direct marketing methods.

Today, the highest honor you can garner in Direct Marketing is called “The Caples Award.”

His book, Scientific Advertising, is as relevant today as it was when he published it.

Why? Because people are the same.

That’s why a Bible story is just an interesting or enlightening as it was two thousand years ago.

Our surroundings are certainly different, but our human nature is the same.

Just as it will be two thousand years from now.

For my money, David Lee Roth is the greatest frontman in the history of Rock and Roll.

I didn’t say “singer” — there’s a huge difference, so don’t even start.

He’s also come up with more than his share of keen insights over the years.

This one has always stuck with me since I heard him say it back in 1986.

I’ve always enjoyed the Nightingale-Conant personal development courses.

I remember when you’d get the big binder with all the cassettes in it.

This quote is from The Strangest Secret, written and narrated by Earl Nightingale himself in 1956.

Emerson probably beat him to it, though, when he wrote…

“A man is what he thinks about all day long.”

But I like the transformational optimism in Mr. Nightingale’s version best.
