[edit] Matthew McConaughey

The previous Matthew McConaughey addition on Og Mandino is indeed an error.

The sentence, "His works, based on fundamental Christian beliefs, were also heavily influenced by the likes of Napoleon Hill, Matthew Mcconaughey[1], W. Clement Stone, and Emmett Fox." is incorrect in that Matthew McConaughey himself was influenced by Og Mandino's works, not the other way around. Og Mandino (1923-1996) was certainly not influenced by the Hollywood actor Matthew McConaughey.

As noted in the (previously referenced) external link: http://www.austinchronicle.com/issues/vol15/issue1/film.mcconaughey.html,

"And then, underneath a stack of magazines, he saw a paperback: The Greatest Salesman in the World, a bestselling How-to-Discover-Your-Own-Potential book by inspirationalist Og Mandino." - this refers to McConaughey being influenced by the book 'The Greatest Salesman in the World', written by Mandino. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Lawrencec (talk • contribs) 22:59, 30 October 2006 (UTC).
