The important things in life are sometimes put in perspective when you least expect it. Something is put in your way to show how trivial the daily upsets and disappointments are, and how the power of human spirit can bring unbelievable achievements. Yesterday for me it was this video.

This amazing video (courtesy of my colleague Terri Lussier) is something I would like to share with my friends on AR. Two young dancers Ma Lai and Zhai Xiowaei, she without an arm and he without the leg, did seemingly impossible. This is not a real estate story, yet I think it could helps us all.

As I cried watching this video (I am sentimental ),it made be see more than the beautiful dance movements. Great achievements are possible for people, who have a real purpose and who do not allow upsets and setbacks, small and big, to derail them from their dream.

Faina - Thanks for sharing such an incredible inspiration.  Can you imagine how many times they were told "no, it can't be done", or "you'll have to find another dream"?  That they were able to reach so far beyond some physical "limitations" shows the power of dedication, focus, and tremendous perseverance. It inspires me to recommit to my goals.
