Northwest Wildlife Online
Yes, those are rhinoceroses (White Rhinos), and that's me scratching their back like the family dog. A lot of people told me this was impossible, too dangerous, crazy. Well, they were wrong. Rhinoceroses adore having their back scratched.
In case you have not clicked on my biography yet, let me do a quick introduction here. My name is Jack Regan, and the purpose of this page is not to give you a bunch of crappola about getting rich overnight or attracting supermodels to the yacht you're about to live on. This site is about wildlife of the Northwest United States, and that is the primary purpose of my life. I've trained elephants and rhinoceros's, swam with seals and alligators, and I love to observe and photograph animals as much as I like to breathe.
I KNOW WHAT I LOVE
But I've had a few other occupations and enthusiasms along the way. I love martial arts and have been fortunate enough to teach it for a while. I love fitness. I love writing. I've traveled and lived around the world and had heck of a time doing it. I spent twenty three years training, counseling, and leading soldiers in the US Army, and loved that, too. I love being a husband, father and grandfather. I know who I am and what I like to do.
I KNOW WHAT I DESPISE
There's a few things I don't like, though. In fact, there is one particular facet of modern life I despise more than any other - I deeply hate to see people waste their God given potential. (Yea, that's right, I said God. If you don't like it go away.) I have seen too many young people throw away the finest years of their life because some fool convinced them that their desired path in life was improper, fraught with too many difficulties, or that the "system" was simply too unfair. And it's not just the young. Many, many adults waste their lives in professions they hate because they are too afraid to give up security. Every single day of their life is one more 24 hour period of settling for less. Every single day is another day of unrealized potential.
A RISING TIDE
I put this add on my website because the links will take you to products that I have used to achieve success. It is the only place on the site where you'll find a "Sales Letter." This is my site and I can put any product on it I like. I can reap profits by advertising a Sony Mp3 players or the latest "Fast Way to Wealth" scheme. But that is not only stupid - it's dishonest. I don't use that stuff and I can't recommend it in good faith to you. There is a better way. Since I have a venue to share my passion for animals why not use it to share the passion I have for human potential? A rising tide lifts all boats. Your success makes my life and the life of everyone around you better.
LET THESE GREAT TEACHERS SHOW YOU HOW TO SUCCEED
Listed below are the finest sources available to light a fire under your rump and instruct you on the methods to design and live a life of fulfillment. And believe me, a life of fulfillment is what you want. Money is great. More money is really great. The sources below will teach you how to achieve that, too. But the truly complete man or woman is fulfilled. A fulfilled life is a full heart and a life in balance. That's where you want to be. You are where you are now because of your past thoughts and actions. If you're happy, fine. Stay there. But if you want more out of life here are several sources that I know work because I have proved it to myself.
Earl Nightingale's "Lead the Field" is an excellent place to start. I still have the tape set I bought twenty years ago, but you can get it in CDs. Using Earl's principle's I took a failing Army recruiting company and turned it into the top company in the Northeast in six months.
And speaking of Army recruiting, we trained the entire recruiting battalion in the techniques espoused by Brian Tracy. Brian espouses a 10% improvement rule that is priceless.
Tony Robbins has a tremendous method of motivating anyone to succeed even beyond their highest aspirations. You have to commute to work. Make it productive. Tony is the only guy I know of who actually explains physical exercises that improve your mental attitude. Tony's course propelled me to succeed in martial arts and to finally make a major land purchase that I had dreamed about for years.
One of the first, finest, and most unique books on self improvement is "The New Psycho-Cybernetics" by Dr. Maxwell Maltz. Don't let the odd title off put you. Dr. Maltz was a cosmetic surgeon and first published this work in 1960. Based on years of observations and insights into human behavior in his surgery practice, Dr. Maltz explains how the conscious and subconscious mind works and how to control it. The book has been updated by Dan Kennedy, CEO of the Psycho-Cybernetics Foundation. Give this wonderful book a try and you will find yourself solving problems with an ease that amazes. You may even look forward to problems! Filled with fascinating, true anecdotes and practical exercises, the book is a wonder. I used Dr. Maltz's techniques to build this website.
Of course, I recommend the self improvement classic: Napolean Hill's "Think and Grow Rich." This little book, the grandfather of all self improvement manuals, is a must read. Just get it and read it. My brother practiced the techniques in this book and built a successful business in Maui where he lives and plays. Who wouldn't like that lifestyle? I used Napoleon Hill's Master Mind Principle to create an entirely new Unarmed Combat Course for the US Army.
GO OUT AND TRAIN YOUR RHINOCEROS
You see me in the photos above with several grown rhinoceroses. Years ago I saw a TV story that featured a man doing exactly this. I cannot even remember the circumstances of that show, but it planted an idea in my head that would not go away. Finally, the day came when I had the chance. The zoo keepers and zoo management warned me not to do it. It was nuts they said. It took time, and a little bit of courage, but I did it. The response from the public was incredible! Thousands of people came out to see this feat. Best of all the rhinos were ecstatic. They loved it. With some nerve and a belief in myself I was soon able to walk into an enclosure with four full grown rhinos and brush them just like you would a gentle horse.
Now you probably aren't interested in training a two ton hoofed animal with horns. I'll bet you're more interested in health, wealth, and your own professional success. I use the example of training rhinoceroses, not because it's such an earth shattering achievement, but because it is unique and it means a lot to me. The principles, however, are the same for creating health, wealth, or personal and professional success. Is this what you want? Great! Get to work and accomplish it.
Stop listening to the "You can't do it" crowd. Stop telling yourself you can't do it. You can! So get moving now. I am so tired of the whining, complaining "life is terrible, life is unfair, it's too hard" cry babies that dominate our world that I'd like to practice martial arts on them. There is more opportunity than you can even conceive of right under your nose. Stop thinking of why it can't be done and start concentrating on how to do the thing!

HOOAH!
