"Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome while trying to succeed."
--Booker T. Washington
I read this today and I really connected. You really can't measure how successful a person is due to titles or awards because it's really over coming obstacles that make you successful.

That is what it is truly about. Overcoming is a difficult process sometimes, well most of the time. Support is vital.

ReplyDeleteMy new favorite quote is from a child's version of the Jungle Book. "Mowgli wasn't wise enough to know he should be afraid of Sher Khan."
I love to potential symbolism in this quote.
We're doing a lot better, btw. Haven't made any final decision, but things are looking up.
