It was 1963. A young entrepreneur named Larry S. Rybka was starting a business that would one day become Valmark Financial G<\/span>roup. During the final interview with the president of a life insurance company, he was given a marble with the Golden Rule inscribed across its equator, along with this advice:<\/p>\n\u201cKeep this marble in your pocket always. Every time you have a difficult decision to make, think about the Golden Rule and I know it will guide you to the right decision.\u201d<\/p>\n
