A
Word
of
Caution
In
General:
Do
NOT
accept
EVERYTHING
you
read
from
any
source
(including
this
website)
as
what
YOU
should
do
or
think.
Use
YOUR
filtering
system
AND
prove
ALL
things
for
yourself.
YOU
have
to
live
with
whatever
decisions
you
make
and
whatever
you
do.
Therefore,
prove
all
things.
We
do
NOT
endorse
nor
accept
nor
believe
EVERYthing
that
is
written
in
ANY
of
the
non-AGS
Life
Academy
or
non-AGS
Financial
Services
listed
websites
or
books
(with
a
few
select
exceptions),
on
tapes/CDs/DVDs
or
in
the
various
seminars,
workshops,
boot-camps,
"whatever"
listed
anywhere
on
this
website
or
from
other
websites
linked
here. With
or
without
great
reputations.
Now,
that
is
quite
the
blanket
statement.
Read
it
again
to
understand
- we recommend
these
items
that
are
listed,
but
not
necessarily
EVERY
point
they
make.
That
is
up
to
YOU
to
discern
which
YOU
want
to
believe
or
not
believe
and
that
decision
can
only
come
from
YOU.
Having
said
that, we DO
believe
and
strongly
endorse
reading
the
specific
textbooks,
sites
and
other
resources
listed
as
there
IS
a
lot
in
each
one
of
them
to
learn.
AND,
... we do
recommend
reading
and
studying
them
in
the
order
they
are
listed.
They
are
listed
in
a
specific
order
for
multiple
reasons
and
personally
selected
over
the
hundreds
of
other
potential
textbooks
the Founder & President could
have
chosen.
Each
monthly
module
will
explain
the
whys
behind
each
textbook.
YOU
are his reason
for
this
site.
YOUR
improvement. We believe
YOUR
potential
is so
much
greater
than
even
YOU
can
believe.
With
all
due
respect,
you
don't
have
a
clue
at
what
YOU
can
become.
In
6
months,
write us and
tell us what
you
think. Are we right
or
not?
Please
understand,
...
IF
...
you
can
glean
just
one
new
item
and
implement
that
one
new
item,
then
the
time
spent
getting
that
one
new
item
from
whatever
source
you
received
it
from
(including this website)
was
well
worth
it.
If
two,
so
much
the
better. We're expecting
a
whole
bunch
more
than
one
or
two
items...

Month
One Is
Jam
Packed
- Read
the news
and stay
informed
in what
is going
on
internationally.
Check out
this
page
AND the
reasons
behind
this.
30 days
is what we ask for
to SEE
the
results
for
yourself.
Begin
this
immediately.
Check out
the
caution
there as
well as
the
caution
above.
While
you're at
it, also
check out
this
page
on
health.
You do
want good
health,
don't
you?
6 months
from now,
not only
can you
double
your
income or
become an
expert in
whatever
field you
want, but
you may
be able
to be
healthier
running
circles
around
most
teenagers
as the Founder & President can do in his upper 60s while not
taking
any drugs
nor
medications
nor
having
seen any
doctors
in the
past 10 to
12 years.
Don't
allow the
medical
profession
in
keeping
you sick
or
holding
you back
from
being the
vibrant
person
you could
be.
Concerning
your
finances,
that
too
should
begin
as
quickly
as
possible.
The
first
week is
not too
early
enough.
Month 1
still - Read
"The
Autobiography
of Ben
Franklin"
ISBN
9780486290737
within the first
month.
And
digest it
perhaps
going
through
it
multiple
times in
the first
month.
The first
time, read
it all the
way
through.
The second
time, read
it again
with a
yellow
highlighter
highlighting
the key
points YOU
find and
YOU think
are
important.
Then, go
back and
read it a
third time
studying it
more
profoundly
attempting
to
internalize
those
points you
highlighted.
This
book is
critical
to set
the stage
for what
follows as
each of
these 8 points
in this
foundation
are.
YOUR future
is the
rest of
your
life.
Remember,
tomorrow is
the first
day of the
rest of
YOUR
life.
How do YOU
want to
shape it?
The same as
the past
five
years?
Or, ... is
it time to
make a
change?
A
determined
change to
never again
be like
these past
few
years?!?!?
For YOU
to be
in
charge
and not
at the
mercy
of
others
over
YOU?
Yes,
you can
do
it.
Keep
going.
This
month's
foundational
book of
the
month
will
open
YOUR
mind
and
force
YOU to
think.
It will
build
in you
the
capacity
to
dream
big
dreams,
which
is what
I want
YOU to
do.
Your
potential
is
beyond
your
wildest
expectations
and YOU
need
your
mind
expanded
to
accept
what
you can
become
and
be.
Step by
step
just
like

- kindergarten
to
grammar
school
to high

to
higher
education
and
beyond.
According
to http://www.earlyamerica.com/lives/franklin/,
this
textbook
about Ben
Franklin
is a
wise
choice
to
begin
the
series
of
practical
street
smart
readings
and
learnings.
Benjamin
Franklin
was not
only
one of
the
Founding
Fathers
of the
United
States.
He was
a
leading
writer,
publisher,
inventor,
diplomat,
scientist,
and
philosopher.
He is
well-known
for his
experiments
with
electricity
and
lightning,
and for
publishing
"Poor
Richard's
Almanac"
and the
Pennsylvania
Gazette.
He
served
as
Postmaster
General
under
the
Continental
Congress,
and
later
became
a
prominent
abolitionist.
He is
credited
with
inventing
the
lightning
rod,
the
Franklin
Stove,
and
bifocals.
Some
of the
things
one can
learn
from
this
textbook
and
this
first
month's
module
He
sets
the
stage
for
YOU.
For YOU
to
become
as
great
as he
was.
Look at
where
he came
from
and
what he
had to
endure
and the
obstacles
he had
to
overcome
without
real
family
or
other
support
at such
a young
age.
Think
of
putting
yourself
in his
situation
and
learn
it can
be
done.
He
takes
away
YOUR
excuses.
He
was a
young
lad on
his own
in two
unfamiliar
countries
with
nothing
and in
some
cases
less
than
nothing
learning
to live
within
his
means
while
taking
care of
others.
He
learned
not to
trust
others
regardless
of
their
position.
He
learned
how to
eat for
the
least
amount
of
money
and be
more
healthy
than
his
peers.
He set
goals
and
then
went
out and
achieved
them.
He
learned
good
work
ethics
in how
to
succeed
on his
own
while
planning
for the
future
and
saved
money
in the
process.
He
listened
to
others
but
made
his own
mind up
as
well.
Character
became
important
to him
and
then
set out
methodically
in
raising
his own
standards.
There
really
is so
much in
this
textbook.
An
excellent
foundation
to
build
on.
Some
real
excellent
fundamentals.
And
attitude,
if he
did it,
there
is hope
in YOU.
This
month's
selection
of
textbooks
is an
excellent
motivator
and an
encourager.
And a
whole
lot
more.
A real
good
book to
begin
the
practical
street
smarts series
for
YOUR
personal
growth.
You
need
that as
you
progress.
That's
what AGS
Life Academy
is - a
prep
type
school.
To
develop
the
whole
person.
In all
7 areas
of
life.
To
prepare
YOU for
YOUR
future.
In
whatever
field
of
endeavor
or
industry,
or
business,
or
public
life or
whatever
YOU
choose
to do
in YOUR
future.
It is
filled
with
encouragement,
motivation,
practical
how-tos,
if
someone
else
can do
it,
then
you can
to
street
smarts
you can
do as
well.
All
within 6
months
of
concentrated
studying
of a
few
select
textbooks
that
are
uncommon
but
super
practical
AND
thinking
AND in
the
process,
tailoring
it to
YOU.
It
prepares
YOU to
go
forward
in YOUR
quest
for
greatness.
You'll
look
back in
6
months
and
marvel
at the
progress
you'll
have
made.
WOW!
You'll
think
it
really
was
much
easier
than
you
expected.
You'll
even
have
had fun
in the
process.
Excitement
along
with
the
sincere
smile
on YOUR
face
will
boldly
come
forth
like
never
before.
Seriously.
That's
what I
expect
and
guarantee.
All
from a
FREE
website.
By
the
way,
here is
a
comment
from a
student
about
this
month's
textbook:
| Gary,
As
a
nice
bit
of
timing,
the
autobiography
of
Benjamin
Franklin
arrived,
in
time
for
me
to
bring
it
on
my
journeys
to
the
AHVMA
convention
in
KY.
I
read
some
things
(actually
many),
that
I
thought
would
be
of
benefit
to
your
AGS
Academy
students.
For
one,
his
13
points
program
for
self
improvement.
I
laughed
however,
that
he
suffered
mightily
in
the
same
skill
-
that
of
"order".
His
remaining
tenets
for
a
good
personal
life,
though,
are
excellent,
and
worth
sharing.
Thanks
for
the
recommendation.
It
is
a
bit
of
heavy
reading
sometimes,
due
to
the
old
English,
but
still
a
remarkable
accounting
of
a
life
well
lived
in
service
to
humanity.
Politicos
would
do
well
to
read
and
adhere
to
his
beliefs.
PJ
A
quick
update
from
PJ...
I
finished
the
book
this
morning.
Might
re-read
it,
as
it
is
full
of
advice
for
bountiful,
grateful
living. |
Once
you
have
finished
the Autobiography textbook
of Ben
Franklin,
read
"A
Message
To
Garcia"
by
Elbert Hubbard and "The
Way To Wealth"
by Benjamin Franklin. Each should
be able
to be completed in
one separate sitting. Both are short books,
yet,
super
powerful.
Especially,
after
Ben
Franklin's
Autobiography.
Then,
ponder
the three together
and how
they
relate
to YOU.
Reward
Yourself
Once
having completed the reading assignment, it is time for your Music
Appreciation
class. If at all possible, find a classical concert in the
area and go. Dress up nice and treat yourself. Take
someone else with you if possible.
Do
an investigative study about the particular concert you are
going to concerning the artist (composer) and all the who, what,
when, where, why, how, and the purpose of the concert when it
was first written.
Begin
a new notebook or file on Music Appreciation with these notes
and what YOU, the student, got out of the concert, if
anything. Wait at least 3 days before you write about your
thoughts in that regard.
Also...
Towards
the
conclusion
of this
month,
take
the
last few
days to
review How
To Get
The
Most
Out Of
This
Academy
and
also
The
Purpose,
Objective
&
Vision
pages.
Do this
before
you
begin
the
next
section.
Then,
ponder
deeply
what
YOU got
out of
this
first
month
at AGS
Life
Academy.
Think
about
YOU.
Are
YOUR
goals
still
the
same?
How
would
YOU
modify
them or
tweak
them to
be more
current
for
YOU?
Look at
the time
management
section
once
again.
Update your progress.
By
the way, are you keeping
a journal
of your progress?
Now
is the
time to
consider
either the
Certificate
Program
or the Diploma
Program,
wouldn't
you say?
Then,
go out
to
dinner
and
enjoy
the
reward.
You've
earned
it.
Make it
special.
