I Dare You


William H. Danforth - 1976

This brief book will provide you with the roadmap for success as well as a jolt of energy encouraging you to follow that path and fulfill your potential.  William H. Danforth, who founded the Nestle Purina company, saw life as a type of checkerboard. Danforth believed that four key components (or "squares") – the mental, the physical, the social, and the religious – needed to be in balance in order to achieve fulfillment and success in life.  He encapsulated his ideas in I Dare You!, a book he published in 1931, in which he urges readers of any age to take chances and fulfill their full potential through his strategies of becoming a more risk-taking person.

Pursuit of Excellence


The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints - 1976
    Accomplishing this objective requires a diligent and serious effort in all aspects of life-spiritual, intellectual, social, and physical. The Pursuit of Excellence challenge is intended to strengthen adherence to gospel principles in themselves to church members [and non church members] who elect to participate. Each person who undertakes the Pursuit of Excellence challenge should so closely pattern [their] lives to the sacred and enduring example of the Savior, Jesus Christ, that the basic principles of gospel living will be incorporated into his life for eternity. "Whatever principle of intelligence we attain unto in this life, it will rise with in the resurrection. And if a person gains more knowledge and intelligence in this life though his diligence and obedience than another, he will have so much the advantage in the world to come" (D&C 130:18-19). Nothing is more invigoration than working hard to fulfill a noble and worthwhile purpose. Some of the goals of the pursuit of Excellence are: to gain and strengthen a personal conviction of the reality of God the Father, his Son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost; to live with compassion and integrity with our minds; to read tin inspired words of men touched with the Spirit of God; to search for good an uplifting thoughts and deeds of mankind; and to realize the importance of a physical body and the neccessity of giving it proper care. :And if your eye be single to my glory, your whole bodies shall be filled with light, and there shall be no darkness in you; and that body which is filled with light comprehendeth all things." (D&C 88:67). To the person who becomes absorbed in achieving eternal goals, life becomes more abundant. The approach describes in the accompanying pages can be accomplished by anyone who has an honest desire to improve himself so that he can serve others more effectively. This is an exciting opportunity to find the power and strength of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Read the following pages carefully. Be honest and soul-searching as you select your won goals.
