MIND  -MAGIC & Icons 

2PM Saturday, April 20th

Dr Gene Landrum, Professor Emeritus Hodges University, high-tech start-up executive turned educator and writer, originated a plethora              of  entrepreneurial ventures, including the Chuck E. Cheese concept of family entertainment. After years of interacting with creative and overachieving personalities he decided to document the inner workings of what makes them  tick. Author of 20 books on what motivates

great visionaries, Landrum was asked by a very successful businessman how to become an Icon. So Dr Gene extracted

some of his finest quotes and aphorisms from billionaires like Bill Gates & Sam Walton, creative wunderkinds like DaVinci

and Nietzsche, writers like Oscar Wilde and Ayn Rand to create Mind-Magic & Icon Wizardry.

Gene is a mesmerizing story teller who charms and inspires his audiences.

Here is a sampling of the quotes from his latest book:                              

                                                                                                                                       

            “A reasonable man adapts to the world. An unreasonable man attempts to adapt the world to him. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man. Some men see things the way they are and ask WHY? I see things as they are not and ask WHY NOT?”  --George Bernard Shaw

            “An idea that is not dangerous is unworthy of being called an idea… There are only two tragedies in life: one is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it.” 

   --Oscar Wilde

Dr Landrum adds many quotes such as “All truth is false with more awareness.” At an early age Landrum was bewildered by statements such as “You can’t do that, because it is not in the budget!” He has spent his lifetime inventing, creating and encouraging others to reach their highest potential. You will be on the edge of your seat! Read more about Dr Landrum at: www.genelandrum.com
