I just heard a couple of hours ago and wanted to acknowledge the passing of Corey Rudl, who was killed yesterday while enjoying what was obviously one of his passions - fast sports cars. It's especially sad since he was only 34 and only recently married.

He taught many netpreneurs how to get started and grow in online business and inspired many to give it a go. He will be sadly missed by many.

Unfortunately, I never had the opportunity to meet Corey in person. But everything I heard and saw of him suggested a young man of vital energy and a passion for life.

My prayers and thoughts are with his family and close friends.

I think Corey would have agreed with Gary Huynh's comment:

"Live your life like there's no tomorrow."

How To Master Web Graphics In 10 Easy Steps -- By Louis Allport

This is not Marketing related, but ...

I recently received a letter from a charity organization that I've supported at times, The Spina Bifida &Hydrocephalus Association of South Australia Inc.

While discussing the reasons why people help out others, the Executive Director, Kevin Bawden AM, was reminded of a story that I felt was "pretty cool" (for want of a better expression) and I'd like to share it with you.

------------

His name was Fleming, and he was a poor Scottish farmer. One day, while trying to make a living for his family, he heard a cry for help coming from a nearby bog. He dropped his tools and ran to the bog. There, up to his waist in black sticky mud, was a terrified boy, screaming and struggling to free himself. Farmer Fleming saved the lad from what could have been a slow and terrifying death.

The next day, a fancy carriage pulled up to the Scotsman's humble home. An elegantly dressed nobleman stepped out and introduced himself as the father of the boy Farmer Fleminig had saved. "I wannt to repay you." said the nobleman. "You saved my son's life."

"No, I can't accept payment for what I did." the Scottish farmer replied waving off the offer. At that momoent, the farmer's own son came to the door of the family cottage.

"Is that your son?" the nobleman asked.

"Yes" the farmer replied proudly.

"I'll make you a deal. Let me provide him with the level of education my own son will enjoy. If the lad is anything like his father, he'll grow to be a man we both will be porud of." And that he did.

Farmer Fleming's son attended the very best schools and in time, graduated from St. Mary's Hospital Medical School in London, and went on to become known throughout the world as the noted Sir Alexander Fleming, the discoverer of Penicillin.

Years afterward, the same nobleman's son who was saved from the bog was stricken with pneumonia.

What saved his life this time? Penicillin.

The name of the nobleman? Lord Randolph Churchill
His son's name? Sir Winston Churchill

We may never know the outcome of our own generosity, but this story can give us hope for the future.
