After that night I didn’t really hear from him. My mom finished her project and that was it. I kind of shrugged it off up until recently. But on Christmas morning, when I opened up a shining new copy of significance, I smiled. When I opened the cover, my card sat there. Next to my personal Jon Petz autograph. It said, “Jackson, never forget the importance of simple moments in life. Don’t watch it happen – Go make it happen! It’s Showtime! – Jon Petz” I grinned ear to ear. By far one of my favorite gifts ever, and it’s right up there with my laptop and Disney World trip! I looked at the card and studied it. It brought me to this website, and I spent lots of time figuring out what to write and when. I decided to tell a couple of my close friends, and bring the book to my English teacher. They all loved it. One of my friends bought a deck of cards. I’m pending on my card choice, but in the meantime I’m spreading the word. My point is this story changed my life. And so did Jon. My message is if you haven’t already, buy this book. Buy the cards. Or just tell people about the story. I’m going to carry out my quest of significance, and continue to change people’s lives, and you should to.
Card Information
- How?
Hi. My name is Jackson and I’m 14 years old. This card took a while to get, and I don’t mean to brag, but the story up to it is pretty great. My mom works for Fisher Price, and a couple months ago she hired Jon to come in and talk about his book, Boring Meetings Suck. She said her experience was awesome and she said I’d like him a lot. She told me he was an author, motivational speaker, and a magician. I was interested to hear that Jon had so many skills, and I asked her about his books. She told me about BMS and then Significance. She covered it briefly, and didn’t tell me the ending. The next day, she bought the book, and Jon signed it to her. She came home that night and told me to read it. I was moved. If measured in distance, probably 2 or 3 football fields. I loved the book and I loved the message. Towards the end of my mom’s project at work, she invited Jon to my brother’s birthday dinner. It was great. Jon did some magic, and amazed us all, even the waitresses! I retaliated my making his dessert disappear. At the end of the evening when we were getting ready to leave, Jon told me to make a difference. To change the world. To make my life, Significant.
