Journey To Success

Napoleon Hill Foundation Certified Instructor, Tom Cunningham (too tall) interviews Dr James Perdue. Dr James Perdue was a normal 19 year old with expectation of playing professional baseball. He attended Martin Methodist College in Pulaski, Tennessee on a baseball scholarship. With the attitude of being invincible, he was in college for two weeks and played one college game in the fall. Then unexpected tragedy came a calling. On September 11, 1983, James became a quadriplegic from playing a football game. The doctor said, “James, I’m sorry.
