Urged listeners to stand by their beliefs
FORT WORTH, TEXAS -- Former President George W. Bush used a paid motivational speech in Fort Worth to urge listeners to stand by their beliefs.
Bush spoke to about 11,000 people at a "Get Motivated" business seminar.
The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports a spokesperson for the group declined to say how much the 43rd president was paid for Monday's appearance. Tickets sold for $225 at the door.
Bush, who lives in Dallas, said he was honored to be president by "bringing honor and dignity to the office." He told the crowd that popularity is "fleeting" and that they should stick to their principles, living each day to the fullest.
Bush was joined on the program by former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, former U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell and motivational speaker Zig Ziglar.
