Awesome Story From Dennis "Mr. Belding" Haskins

Just heard a great story from “Mr. Belding” that I wanted to share with everyone.  As you may know, Dennis travels around the country speaking to colleges about his time on Saved by the Bell and the lessons he feels are important for college students as they strive to be successful in and out of the classroom.  A group of four freshman at the University of Texas in Austin, TX heard that Dennis spoke at colleges and wanted to bring him to UT.  Their friends laughed at them and told them it was stupid and impossible.  The four freshman pulled together $75 and officially formed a student organization called the “Bayside Preservation Society”.  Once again, their friends laughed at them and told them it was stupid and impossible to bring “Mr. Belding” to campus.  Within four months, they were able to raise the appropriate funds to bring Dennis to campus – the result was an audience of 950 people and a huge success for the four freshman and their new student organization.  The lesson is so simple, yet most people don’t get it – when you put your mind and heart towards something, you can accomplish just about anything.  So the next time you have a crazy idea, just go for it!   Worst case scenario is that it fails, but you still learn a lot…  Best case scenario is that you accomplish something awesome!!
