Subject: Re: Dyslexic, Failure and Lost Author: Glenn & Melva Harrington (Good News) [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 14:28:15 05/06/12 Sun In reply to: Yazan Ghanem 's message, "Dyslexic, Failure and Lost" on 01:25:11 02/09/12 Thu Good News -- Get Tested --- When I was 70 years old -- I am now 80 -- I was tested and was reading and spelling on the 4th level. But wait -- I have a BS and a MS -- tought for 35 years in both high school and a two year college - was a Park Ranger for the National Park service and have owned a number of businesses and I still read on a 4th grade level. The test also showed that my "True or innate intelligence" was in the top 2%ile of the random population of 1000 people. I am a member of The America MENSA Society and I still read and spell of the 4th Grade level. Adjust and compensate and you will have a great life. I have just finished a 30K word manuscript on my life that should be published in about 4 months and I still read on a 4th grade level. One thing in the Book is ----- "You cannot overcome problems in your life (Dyslexia) nor will they be taken from you until you accept them and develop a positive attitude towards them. Then and only then will you become the master of you faith, the fashioner of you life and the doer of miracles. God Bless --- Glenn [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
