Why weren't his children like him?
     Even though Jose had experienced success in many areas, his children were not following in his footsteps. Some bad report cards convinced him that he had to find the answer.
     The answer seemed to be in the way that super successful people - like himself - used their minds.
     *He made good decisions, but his children sometimes failed to do the correct thing.
     *He could concentrate on a task and complete it. His children didn't seem to have that same ability.
     *Jose was usually in the right place at the right time, and this had led to much of his success. But his children, like so many other people who never see their dreams come true, sometimes seemed to wind up at the worst possible place at the worst possible time.
     *He was never ill, but his children got the usual childhood diseases.
     This raised several questions in his mind:
     *Why could some people learn more easily than others? Jose learned without ever attending school, while his children were bringing home some F's on their report cards.
     *Why were some people so much better at earning a living than others?
     He felt that the answer was in the mind. But how could he explore the mind?
