“The Gong Show was the greatest scam of all time. It was simple: We wanted to do a talent show. There weren't any venues for acts back then. We were gonna have a show of new, fresh, good acts. But we couldn't find any; they were all lousy. So rather than throw away the idea, I said, "Let's reverse it. Let's do lousy acts." Now, is that a scam? I'm telling you.” SaidIdeasShowsWantedSimpleTalentAll TimeReverseVenuesScamsGongsTalent Show Author:Chuck Barris
“I have often said one of the greatest secrets of missionary work is work! If a missionary works, he will get the Spirit; if he gets the Spirit, he will teach by the Spirit; and if he teaches by the Spirit, he will touch the hearts of the people and he will be happy. There will be no homesickness, no worrying about families, for all time and talents and interests are centered on the work of the ministry. Work, work, work-there is no satisfactory substitute, especially in missionary work.” PeopleIfsHeartSaidSpiritInterestSecretTeachWorryTalentAll TimeSubstitutesMissionaryMinistryAbout FamilyHomesicknessMissionary Work Book:The Teachings of Ezra Taft Benson Source: The Teachings of Ezra Taft Benson
