Determination Inspite of the Situation

It amazes me that most of us that were set up for success makes up every excuse not to make it work. And the more odds a person has against them, the more determined they are to succeed.  At work I had a call from a customer that was mentally challenged, and his level of determination and independence really touched my heart. He was home alone, and called in to fix his phone. I don't even think he could read, but he used pictures and colors so that I could assist him.  Even when someone entered the room that could help him, he continued on instead of asking for help until  we solved his issue.  I heard a local pastor say, "Success is measuredbby how well you take what you were given, and make the best you can of it." Inspite of his situation, he was determined to succeed. I was inspired by his motivation.

  1. That is a great motivational story. Sometimes I am pushed more by someone who says I can't do it more than someone who supports me. Proving a person wrong is good motivation and always satisfying. Beating the odds is my game. :)
