Click Here's a letter of encouragement that I sent to
Neil Wilkinson on 4-18-2009.
Dear Neil,
I almost flunked out of English and History. Who needs to do all of
this ridiculous study, "I Aint got no problm spekin englsh", I used
to think. I never realized about learning until I got into the
Navy. There I got straight A's and that was a two year classroom
course before we went into the fleet. My brother went into the Air
Force and had no schools. I couldn't believe it. He just had on
the job training and that was it. Before I chose to go to the Navy
I read about different career opportunities in a career class in
High School. It said that the Navy had the best schools and that's
why I chose the Navy after I had two brothers that went to the Air
Force and two who went to the Army.
From that time on I always took some kind of course, either in
night school, home study or by cassette tapes. I have about a
hundred success and business courses on cassette and have listened
to them about a hundred times each. That's the truth. Every day
that I drove to work and home, an hour each way, I would listen to
the courses giving me two hundred and fifty-five days a year with
two hours of study each day. My nephew wanted to have copies of the
tapes and I would use the high speed copy on my tape deck to make
them. But in that mode I could still hear the words and since I
studied the tapes so many times, I could still understand everything
these tapes said. It was great because I was still getting the
whole tape pushed into my head. I stopped listening to music,
almost altogether, because it turned out that the Rock-n-Roll became
psychological warfare against the betterment of all mankind and is
really bad with the new Hip-Hop and Rap music today. So the only
place that I found comfort and a future, was in my cassette tapes.
Now when I work in the garage, I still listen to music, but
only the old stuff or country. I found a good country station that
is not playing dying dog country, so it is really good music. But,
just like your Falklands project, this is how I now do my studies.
The emails that I receive are fantastic and I almost always hear
from people, like yourself, who have something worthwhile to say.
My old high school friend got spammed permanently from me because he
just sends me filthy jokes and porn pictures. This happened to some
of my other friends who became Big Shots in the government. All the
time that they are supposed to be working, they are sending filthy
emails back and forth. This is why I don't think our country has a
future. These guys have nothing but filth flowing through their
heads and they are the big bosses. This filth is an attack on our
country and the whole world.
Ever since I ended up disabled, everything that I have ever done,
including making this website at YellowAirplane.com, has been an
accident. I was trying to promote a product called Energy Release
and was one of their very first distributors. I had no money and I
used the promotion techniques from the Joe Cossman and other courses
to promote my product. So I started the March of Dimes Race Team.
They said that it was ok to use their name, so I looked for some
racers who might be interested. I found a team that didn't tell me
that it couldn't be done, which almost ten teams have already told
me, so we painted the March of Dimes logo on their car. The very
first race that we went to, I didn't know a single person at the
track and have never been to that track ever before. I didn't know
it, but the announcer quit that very same day. Then my race car
team builder told me to follow him. We walked up to the announcers
booth and I was thinking that this was great because I will get to
see what the booth looks like inside. There wasn't anyone in
there. My friend said, "this is your chair, you're the announcer".
It took me twenty minutes to get enough courage to say anything. I
would turn the mic on and off, and on and off again and never say
anything. I knew nothing at all, including the fact that I was
going to be the announcer. I announced for eighteen years until the
staples in my stomach started cutting me so bad that I couldn't do
it anymore. I announced for car races, midget races, go carts and
motorcycles. I announced several state championships and national
championships with the ESPN news anchor being my backup guy. It was
great!
But, just after starting the announcing for the first time, I did
what the courses said to do and wrote news releases to everyone. So
that's what I did and I told everyone about the March of Dimes Race
Team. The magazine liked my article so much that the editor did a
special on it and then invited me to keep on writing. I had so many
good comments written to the editor about
my unusual stories, that I ended up becoming a staff
writer. Then I told him that they should have a subscription form
in every issue, so they did that and the number subscriptions went
up. Then I said that they should have a new product section and he
made me the New Products Editor. It was all an accident for me.
The track tried for ten years to get the TV to come out and take
pictures of the races, but they were never successful. I had them
out to the track five times in just the very first year. I was on
several other stations with interviews and, at some events, I had
several TV stations covering the event at one time.
The newspapers put me in the headlines in three states saying,
"Dyrek Racing Beneficial". Twice a year I ran donation drives where
the racers would come into the stands and collect money for the
March of Dimes efforts in their fight for healthier babies and we
always brought in at least 500 dollars each time.
I ended up on radio talk shows and TV talk shows. Also, I have been
in many parades and blew up my radiator right in the middle of one
of the parades having water and steam flying out everywhere and
stopping the whole parade in the middle of the street.
With just talking on the web to people just like you. I ended up
going to the North Pole and being a guide on my very first
expedition. Experienced expeditioniers thought that I was
experienced myself because I watched the promotional videos so many
times as I would make copies and send them to prospective
customers. After two years of doing making the copies, I knew the
names of so many of the other people that have been to the pole and
how the operation worked, it was like I've been there many times
myself and I sounded like an expert.
TV stations, like the BBC, NBC, History Channel, NHK and others
would call me very often. If I couldn't help them myself, I would
send them to someone that could. With all of the contacts that I've
made, I ended up finding the Russian team for a Junk Yard Wars
program, I think that they call it Scrap Heap Wars in England. You
may have seen the program where they made large snow machines that
could break through huge walls of snow. The Russian's almost won,
but broke a drive shaft which stopped them.
I ended up giving lectures in high schools, middle schools, local
clubs and then universities. That's a good business, by the way.
Actually I can go on and on with this, but I think that you get the
point. You are now starting on the same path as I have and we are
working on this project together. It's great! Just look at all of
the people that we have met just in the past six months and this
project has just started. There's some cartoon named "The Future
is Wild," and it is. The future is wild and we are the wild ones
because we will go where others will not. The TV, Radio, Newspapers
and Magazines are super hungry for a good story and your story is a
super good one with the idea of "When Enemies Become Friends".
This is a great theme and President Obama's ideas are very much
heading in the same way. We are right at the beginning of the wave
and this is when we need to paddle the hardest so we can ride the
wave just as a surfer does. We are the first to bring this idea
along and are right on a wave that President Obama is trying to
create himself.
With the BBC getting involved, we may very well all get free rides
on military aircraft to the Falklands as part of the TV program. It
would be good press for the military and would greatly add to the
BBC's program too. In fact, your BBC contact should hear about this
idea because it would be a very inexpensive way for them to get
their story, and at the same time, make the story even better. In
fact, I will write him with some of these ideas myself tonight
because my brain has just started into a storm.
You are doing a fantastic and professional job on your part. It's
very rare that I meet anyone who takes the ball or even runs with
the team. Most people will just sit and dream of great things just
coming to them and when it comes time to work, they just want to
drink a beer and watch the Boob Tube and that's it.
Five percent of the people in the U.S. are millionaires. That means
that only five percent of the people will have good ideas that are
worth anything and will pursue their ideas. Just like I said a long
time ago, there are three kinds of people in the world; People who
make things happen: People who talk about making things happen: and
People who don't know what's happening. You are a person that makes
things happen.
You are a friend of the Royal family. Maybe they can't do anything
on this event, but there are indeed people that they can do things
on other events. Like you said about Prince Andrew, he was the
first to go into battle and the last to come out. He fought like a
Royal Example. This in itself is newsworthy and was never covered
in this way in any program that I have ever seen. Instead, most
people think that since he was such a notable man, that he would
only go in to conflicts when there was very little or no danger, but
it was actually the opposite with Prince Andrew.
With our story, he may not be able to take part in going to the
Falklands, but he sure can give an interview and even mention you in
the Gulf War since you both were on the same crew. This is
noteworthy and can give great feedback all the way around.
My mom loves the Queen. She said that Queen Elizabeth would drive
trucks and jeeps in the war delivering supplies to parts of the city
that were bombed out. You know the Queen yourself and have been
invited to a ball in the Palace in 2007. This is significant! This
is a notable occasion.
With all of the great things that Princess Diana has done, Prince
Andrew's efforts and the efforts of the Queen in times in great
need, there is a lineage in their efforts that should be known and
it will all fit in with your story, "When Enemies Become Friends".
You too are part of this never ending lineage of noteworthy English
Citizens and this is newsworthy, worldwide. You are on a mission
from God himself because of your good intent. This is why we met
and this is why I want to be part of this mission and meet Mariano
myself. I too would like to meet the Queen because of all the good
things that my mom has told me about her. I would like to meet
Prince Andrew because of his willingness to put his life on the line
at a moments notice in the line of duty. I would also like to meet
you for all of your efforts because you are a person that is worth
meeting by this disabled veteran.
Thank you very, very much for all of your tremendous efforts and
your friendship,
Jeff. |
