Some claim in 1988 American advertising executive Dan Wieden created Nike's “Just Do It” slogan because of Art's 1987 “Do It” speech. Proof? Dan has publicly talked about his inspiration; appears unrelated. Just because it could be, doesn't mean it is.

“Just Do It (JDI) is a slogan coined in 1988 by Dan Wieden, co founder of @WiedenKennedy. Created for @Nike, and now a trademark, Dan credits the inspiration for his slogan to American criminal Gary Gilmore's last words before execution; “Let's do it.” https://t.co/FiBSqXF4kO”

Art's primary point for his “Do It” speech.
Q. What matters most to winning in business?
A. What’s inside a person; “It’s your integrity. It’s your people abilities. It’s your character.”
The rest of his points are essentially about integrity, people abilities, & character.
In 1987 Dr. Jerry Falwell Sr. of @LibertyU introduced a successful American insurance businessman, Arthur L. “Art” Williams Jr., on stage at the @NRBConvention to present his philosophy on winning in business. Art's speech was simply entitled “Do It.”
Q. Why do you often capitalize Truth?
A. Because Truth isn't a mere thing, fact, or experience. Truth is a person; a God-Man named Jesus.
The Protestant Bible communicates He's “the way, the truth, and the life” See John chapter 14 zooming around verse 6
“John 14:6 “Jesus said to him, “I am the [only] Way [to God] and the [real] Truth and the [real] Life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.” AMP Compare & Contrast in Context (Zoom Scripture Text In/Out) for Clarity & Purpose w Parallel Translations https://t.co/Fw3Cn7gfb2”
Q. Is it wrong to have a deep desire to be right?
A. No. That said, if you truly want to be right then understand being right is a product of Truth. So, while you may have a deep desire to be right; cultivate a deeper desire to find and stay near Truth.
“The practice of living out a posture of Truth over righteousness makes it so that I have more opportunities to allow intentional change in my thinking; so I can do better everyday, and so I can give, receive, & handle criticism in effective ways. https://t.co/7k9T1r7Bj7”
Jesus said, “I am the Road, also the Truth, also the Life. No one gets to the Father apart from me. If you really knew me, you would know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him. You’ve even seen him!”
John 14:6-7 The Message
“I myself am the road,” replied Jesus, “and the truth and the life. No one approaches the Father except through me. If you had known who I am, you would have known my Father. From now on, you do know him and you have seen him.”
John 14:6-7 J.B. Phillips New Testament
“Jesus explained, “I am the Way, I am the Truth, and I am the Life. No one comes next to the Father except through union with me. To know me is to know my Father too.” TPT (The Passion Translation)
Jesus explained, “I am the Way, I am the Truth, and I am the Life. No one comes next to the Father except through union with me. To know me is to know my Father too.
