I really appreciate Greg Mortenson and all that he has done-- excellent example to illustrate rising above. I think so often-- especially right now in college-- we think we have to do something great now. What we don't realize is that it takes time to become Greg Mortenson and that great feats are not accomplished in years but in a lifetime.
I really need to read this book. It's been on my list for a while. I love the message you shared Courtney. It is always rewarding when we DO keep pressing forward with a positive attitude despite our failures; and we finish doing something just as meaningful or even more meaningful than what we originally had set out to accomplish. I have personally experienced this and I've also done the opposite. I recognize now looking back that the times when I chose to carry on I was always led to a solution or to do something meaningful. By the way, great design. I really like the picture you used to illustrate the story.
