From General George S. Patton I have learned about focus and intensity.

And so on. And believe me, I am just getting warmed up!

So hopefully you are asking why all of that matters to you. Good question!

Here’s answer. Now, I am ready to pass on secrets of lives of Great Men to you through my new web site: http://www.ConversationsFromthePast.com.

What I have done for you at ConversationsFromthePast.com is this: I've blown dust off chronicles of wisdom accumulated through ages, and I have rediscovered secrets of masculinity by studying lives of those men – those Great Men - who settled Western World, explored Africa, tamed American Wild West, destroyed Nazis and Communism in defense of liberty.

I have researched lives of Great Men and written several, power-packed E-courses based upon their biographies. These E-courses and related materials are waiting to reveal secrets of lives of Great Men to you – if you are prepared to listen, to learn and to act.

Not ready to read a 1,000 page biography? No problem. You do not have to do heavy-lifting; I have done it for you.

My series of E-courses will tell you how Great Men did what they did and how they became who they were. If you follow my E-courses, you will not only learn about qualities of Great Men, you will be challenged to be a better man yourself.

By getting to know Great Men – by adopting them as your mentors - you will be constantly challenged to look into mirror and measure yourself…Not so much against their achievements, but against your own potential. And if you are anything like most American men today, you have not even begun to tap your true potential! Wouldn’t it be exciting if you did?

If you visit ConversationsFromthePast.com, you will quickly see that my approach and my products are unique because they are grounded not in my opinion but in proven lives of Great Men.

And my products will make their lives accessible to you. Yes, massive, erudite, scholarly and learned biographies describing in painfully minute (and often mind-numbing) detail life of almost any Great Man are everywhere. But most men today have neither time nor interest to wade through these scholarly tomes for six months just to take away a nugget or two of inspiration.

One of secrets of Great Men which I will reveal to you right now is simply this. The Great Men all knew how to take action. Visit my web site today and sign up for free gifts which are available to anyone who stumbles onto that site by accident. But if you visit and sign up for free special report, I will also immediately begin emailing you a daily tip on becoming a Great Man. Each daily tip will be grounded in life of a Great Man; in other words, it will not be just one more guru’s opinion which will come and go. It will be based in rock-solid, proven, time-tested historical fact.

But to get started, you must act today.

Creativity, craftsmanship and aesthetic expression are surely ends in themselves. We should not forget that. But even while they are ends in themselves, they serve purpose of re-focusing mind on something other than day-to-day cares.

If you are fighting good fight on a daily basis, and you take up, for example, woodworking, you have little choice but to solely concentrate on woodworking when you are doing it. If your focus slips, you might not only ruin your project, you might lose a finger. The point being, this re-focus will have a rejuvenating effect on you and will in turn do wonders for your “real” career.

Taking up an art or a craft at this point in your life also fulfills that unique masculine virtue of learning, of charging forward, of incrementally expanding your dominion over world, pushing your boundaries, living without fear, paralysis and boredom. Men should know how to do things, lots of things. They should constantly learn, create, expand – and teach.

As General Patton often remarked, “I don’t want to hear anything about holding your ground. We must advance!”

I recently had a party conversation with a psychiatrist who explained that it is a demonstrable scientific fact that if an adult takes up music for first time, brain will literally begin to show activity in areas which were previously underutilized. I don’t know about you, but I think using more of my brain seems like a pretty good idea!
