Arthur (Art) Williams is probably the world's least known and most unlikely motivator, but his simple message is truly compelling.

He started out as a high school teacher

Thanks for sharing enjoyed it, so in the spirit of Art we will just do it lol

As an Antipodean, I am surprised that Art's style resonates with me. The lighter moments of his speech I recite like a Monty Python sketch!

I actually started working part-time for Primerica, but really didn't enjoy it. It is truly a huge insurance company, with great benefits, you just have to be willing to put in the work.

Nothing comes easy these days - we just have to do it!

Thanks Peter, I will bookmark this and watch a bit later tonight.

I hope you got something out of it Jen. Personally I prefer Art's motivational style to the current day, smooth operators (think Tony Robbins etc).

Recently I have encountered a baffling problem - Firefox will not always display some images on pages of my Wordpress site.

Other browsers (Chrome, IE, Safari, Opera) work

see Arka has given you good advice, I am not sure how firefox actually works cannot even find my website with them

Thank you for mentioning me..... (y)

Good advice Arka - shall do.Thanks.

Actually... just like to tell you that some themes are actually not well written. They might be clean as you mentioned but they might be lagging important codes. Also check if browser compatibility is there with firefox. I would suggest some other theme framework to get started on invest on some premium theme from good sources like elegant themes. That is the one I am using and I have checked, there is no issue.

I am using (for the first time) the PageLines (Lite) theme. Some of the solutions to this problem I found online involved detecting and correcting bad code in the theme style sheet, but PageLines seemed to be clean.

I don't seem to have such an issue. Which theme framework do you use?

One of the great strengths of Wealthy Affiliate is its dynamic community. Often I see people referring to the WA Family, which seems an apt description.

Most good members

Agreed..

Kyle teaches us that it is best to have a profile pic of ourselves so that people see it a more personal and helps promote trust

I think that yes you should have you picture on your profile. I didn't at first because I had to down load or up load shoot I had to load it hahaha. I do think it more personable.

I agree Peter. We have written words from everyone which is good. We have facial pictures which helps us see their personality through their smiles and some eye contact even if it is solidified. We cannot see their body language nor can we hear their voice modulation. The latter two are important. That's why I think it would be great to have a conference for all of us some day to see each other, to see genuine smiles, the sparkling eyes and the voices. That would make our family complete.

Hi Sharon, Very true, let's meet each other at Las Vegas Super Affiliate Conference 2014!

Same here, Peter, and I would like them to share their first name and not just those codes like hgjki8709, which is hard to remember, or even type especially when you want to reply to them re their queries. Thanks for sharing this.

I'm like you, I like to see the face of the person. It's just a personal choice though and several members choose not to show their face and that's okay too. Whatever someone is comfortable with. Plus, you can always change or update your profile image.
