                                               A Dying Tree

                                                   Recently, a young tree I planted began to die. This disturbed me greatly
                                               since I love trees. I called in tree specialists and experts who fertilized the
                                               tree, bur the tree kept dying. Finally, I took a garden hose and soaked the
                                               roots twice a week for a month. Suddenly, leavesand new growth exploded

                                               from the dying branches.All it needed was a little more water. (Upon further
                                               inspection, I found the drip line that took water to the tree was clogged.)
                                               Today, that tree is healthy and vibrant. All it needed was an environment it
                                               could grow in. The same is true with people. Many people do not grow rich
                                               because they are in poor environments.

                                               Powerful Environments

                                                   Taking this idea ofenvironments a little further, consider the following
                                               ideas:
                                                      1. If you want your intelligence to grow: go to a library, a
                                                          bookstore or to school.
