Courage....Optimism.....Reinforce.....

This is one of those business weeks when project dependencies seem to dominate. Well, I am back in my hotel room with a choice to brood on it or to think positive.  I remembered the two inspiring news that caught my attention few weeks ago.


One is about the three US veterans Kirk Bauer, Neil Duncans, and Dan Nevins who lost one of their legs in the Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq wars respectively.  With prosthetic leg they climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro about 19,330ft. These gallant men proved that physical challenge will not deter them from reaching their goals.  Yes they did it. Three cheers to them.

Next is about a lady who works for the Nebraska legislature and received an award for America's outstanding oldest worker.  Sally Gordon is 101 years old and loves her job.  She looks so elegant and graceful. An inspiration to all of us.
Hats off to you Sally!

  1. Those veterans showed dogged courage, and the 100 plus year old is truly inspiring. She has me beat by a lot.

    Yours,
