Lesson 2

"One of my favourite memories of Elvis was when I was eighteen years old. It was very seldom that you got to spend one on one time with Elvis, because there were usually other family members and friends around. This one particular evening I was spending the night at Graceland - his home - and I was in my grandmother Dodger's room and Elvis came in there and he sat down on the floor yoga style in front of my chair and he was asking me about my aspirations, what I wanted to do when I graduated from high school, who I was dating and so forth.

He gave me some advice that I've held with me for my entire life - and I've passed it on to my children and now my little grand-daughter - that as long as you have faith in God and you have faith in yourself, then don't ever let anyone else tell you that you can't accomplish anything - because you can do whatever you want to do."
