John Steinbeck – Nobel Prize Speech

John Steinbeck’s speech at the Nobel Banquet at the City Hall in Stockholm, December 10, 1962 “Literature was not promulgated by a pale and emasculated critical priesthood singing their litanies in empty churches – nor is it a game for the cloistered elect, the tinhorn mendicants of low calorie despair. Literature is as old as speech.

Financial Freedom Academy Announces $2 Million Dollar Grand Prize for the “Chasing the American Dream” Competition

(PRWEB) February 27, 2007

Financial Freedom Academy announces $ 2 million dollar grand prize for the “Chasing the American Dream” competition.

America is known for being the land of opportunity, the place where all of your dreams can come true. But, for many Americans the “American Dream” has turned into a living nightmare. They work longer weeks, take fewer vacations, and due to circumstances they cannot control still lose ground financially.

According to researchers, bankruptcy is at all time highs. Many people spend more than they earn financing their lifestyles with credit cards or other loan type instruments. The small glimmer of hope for most people comes in the form of games of chance and luck.

The rise of popular game shows and reality like “American Idol”, “Survivor”, “Deal or No Deal”, “1 vs. 100”, or “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire”, show a sign of the times of people looking for any opportunity to change their life. Unfortunately, for most people that aspire to these shows, or look for equally tough ways to make it (such as winning the lottery, the odds are just to great for them to even make it to the main event let alone win).

For the first time ever, there is a competition that almost everyone can be guaranteed a spot in.

“The Chasing the American Dream” competition is unique for several reasons. First, there are no random cuts based on judge’s opinions. Everything is based on the numbers. Next, every participant will taught exactly how to excel on every module of the competition, and allowed to ask questions.

“The reason I am so excited about this competition is because everyone wins, not just the people who claim the $ 2 Million Dollar prize. But, everyone who participates is almost guaranteed to change their life financially,” says James Sherrod, coordinator. “And also it targeted at the people who need the information the most.”
