There are people out in the world who don't view the glass as half full.  It is always half empty.  There are people in this world who think that their problems are the worst. .  .no one could have it worse than me!  They wallow in their own self pity.  Have you ever seen someone get so mad about something so stupid and then wondered if they have ever had a  real problem in their life?  If they can get so angry over something so trivial, how are they going to deal with a REAL problem?

This is an incredible story about getting back up again.  The man in this story is THE story about the glass being half full!  The smile on his face is incredible and the determination is immeasurable.  If half the people in the world had half of his determination . . .the world would be a better place!  I applaude him for what he does!  He brings his story to the kids of today.  So many of them have not been taught how to cope with a problem . . he is teaching them!!

If you put his name in the search bar on Youtube, there are several of him in there.  I could have watched them all day long!  I hope you enjoy this as much as I did!

That was awesome!  Thanks! 

My son is 9 and asks me why he always feels sad. He has Aspergers but my husband and I have decided not to tell him about his syndrome for fear of him using it to get away with things.  It breaks my heart!  He is a very happy little boy 90% of the time, as afar as I can see - I only hope that he can conquer his fears someday like this man has done!

Nice post.  ...and to be further inspired or depressed, go to www.klattrealty.com as there is a blind broker that is most likely kicking your butt in sales.....yet he has no idea what the house he closed for his client looks like.  Blindfold yourself and then go out and try to sell homes.  Think about that before one says that this business is too tough right now...
