Making a difference

Thursday, May 29th, 2008
   
    The Franklin Equation has been such a wonderful addition to my email inbox. I appreciate Rich, and of course you Beth, every time I receive one. Thanks for taking time to visit the wounded soldiers at Walter Reed. I have never been in the military, but I hold a great respect for those that have.

Scripture

Wednesday, May 28th, 2008
   
    I told Rich that I thought him putting his scripture on his website was a good thing and anybody that tells him different needs to check their own heart. Rich is a true role model and I don’t mind if my kids look up to him because I sure do.

No belt needed

    It is things like this (going to Walter Reed Hospital) that make you a champion with or without the belt. Have a good trip.

Thanks to the troops

    Give them our best Rich, and tell them thanks for keeping us safe. Being Canadian I feel too many of us take for granted how safe we are because we share a continent with the United States. I have great admiration for the members of the military, both ours and the U.S. Thanks for giving of yourself for them Rich.

Role model

    You are what a role model in professional sports SHOULD be…and you show more heart than most athletes would dare! Regardless of your outcomes in the ring…I will ALWAYS be a fan of yours. I can only say, “Thanks,” for being a continuous inspiration and hero to me…

    I have to say I love the Franklin equation. You are a great fighter and very classy person inside and outside the octagon from what I have seen. Keep it up. May God bless you and keep you safe everytime you go to war!!

This spoke to me

    Thank you for “Never Wear Silk Pajamas.” It really speaks to me, particularly when you write, “When you just don’t feel it anymore, it’s time to bow out. Lose your hunger and you’ll end up someone else’s food.”

Impressed

Friday, May 9th, 2008
   
    I just wanted to drop you a line and tell you how much I enjoy The Franklin Equation. I’ve followed Rich’s career since the fight with Shamrock because I was (and remain) impressed with how classy Rich was and how he carried himself like a grown man who has family and friends and a name to keep up, as opposed to someone willing to act like a fool for 5 minutes of fame.

Outside looking in…

Friday, May 9th, 2008
   
    Being an outsider looking in, it is hard for me to imagine the determination and self-discipline it takes to do the process that Rich does for every fight. I have a hard time giving up my favorites for one day! But when you have that drive, I guess anything is possible. For me, inspiration is what gets me motivated. Your example is a testament to this inspiration the world round.

Great display of wisdom

    I love these Franklin Equations that you are sending out because it’s not just getting insight into what you have been doing in the last week or so, but it is also a display of wisdom that helps us all to truly “Keep striving.”
