From Beautiful Bridges to Beautiful People!
As a young Structural Engineer/College Professor my dream was to design beautiful bridges. Following 15 years of teaching engineering principles to college students and earning advanced degrees, I moved my family to Maryland to take a position with J.E. Greiner Engineering, one of the top bridge design firms in the country. They were just finishing work on the second span of the William Preston Lane Jr. Suspension Bridge spanning the Chesapeake Bay.
Thus began a relationship with an engineering structure for many people who could now enjoy the convenience of easy travel to the Eastern Shore on weekends. And just like our human bodies, a bridge, after it is opened, cannot be forgotten but needs constant upkeep and maintenance to assure that it continues to give safe and reliable service for many years. Yes, bridges age just like people and proper care is essential to assure they live long useful lives!
I spent a summer studying fatigue cracks in one of the anchorages of the original bridge, the result of millions of cycles of high stress in the summers as the bridge carried maximum loads with the many travelers bent on getting away to their ocean retreats on weekends. Just like bridges, our bodies can also suffer from fatigue when subjected to all the challenges of modern life.
Now that I am retired from engineering work, network marketing gives me the opportunity to apply some of the same concepts to helping people become more beautiful. Along with the external beauty… periodic painting in the case of bridges and cosmetic treatments for people, is the internal maintenance required and that means effectively managing stress in the case of both bridges and people to assure long useful healthy lives.
Network Marketing, for me, is a highly effective way to enhance and beautify the lives of many people by supplying them with the very best personal care and maintenance products.
