Answer:
Dutch born Canadian --- Leland Val Van de Wall. He taugt many people and got their attention by a few very profound statements and observations:
Anywhere on this planet in this world of ours you will find:
--- 5% of any country's population getting up in the morning, being perfectly aware of what is happening, going out guardant to make things happen.
--- 15% of any country's population gets up in the morning somehow being aware of what is happening, allowing top 5% to instruct them on how to make things happen.
--- 80% of any country's population gets up in the morning wondering what the hell happened!?
That was a profoundly discouraging finding until Leland explained: "Each individual has a choice of which group into which he or she wants to be. Stan chose the 5% group and from that day forward has started to live his life according to his rules and beliefs.
"The degree to which a person can grow
is directly proportional to
the amount of truth he can accept about himself
without running away."
