Beckley is basketball
Greatness is discussed in my new book, Discover Hidden Secret Wisdom: How to Become Great at Anything! Naturally, I like to talk about people who are living their lives to their best.
I had the wonderful opportunity to see my hometown school university’s basketball team play.
Mountain State University (MSU) Cougars (Beckley, West Virginia) beat Salem International University (Salem, West Virginia). I think the final score was 99 to 39. I remember that Beckley didn’t score over 100 points.
MSU is currently ranked # 2 in the NAIA division and they could easily be ranked # 1 in their division after this game. I’ve heard that the # 1 ranked school Robert Morris University (Chicago) has lost a few games recently. So, I’d imagine that Beckley could easily become # 1 in the division!
Beckley also got the tallest basketball player, “Tall Paul,” who is the 5th tallest person in the world and an inch taller than the tallest person in the NBA.
Beckley’s Register-Herald Newspaper claimed that MSU coach, Bob Bolen is ranked #2 among active coaches with over 500 wins. He’s ranked #3 overall among all coaches.
Love and passion is in the players and coaches of Beckley's MSU team. They're dedicated to their interest.
Salem University’s team didn’t give MSU much of a match tonight. Beckley won by 60-points.
Salem is known for one of my favorite all-time people. Former U.S. Senator, Jennings Randolph (b. 1902 – d. 1998) graduated from the former (Salem State College, Salem, West Virginia). Napoleon Hill has given the commencement address at Randolph’s graduation. Randolph had written a letter to Hill about how inspired he was about the speech and encouraged Hill to turn it into a book. Hill had written one of the best-selling self-improvement books of all-time, Think and Grow Rich, based on the West Virginian’s suggestion. The letter Randolph had written is included in Hill’s book.
If you want to become your best then I highly encourage you to read N. Hill’s classic book, Thank and Grow Rich! This book is based on the law of attraction.
