A Little Inspiration

A while back I ran across this quote:

"We are not born brave and heroic.
It is the result of a decision we make
to live lives based on noble principles
inspired by courage
and impelled by commitment."


Wow. I loved it. But who said it?


Mr. Rich Ruffalo, a Paralympic Gold Medallist and Winner of the 1995 U.S. Teacher of the Year Award. According to his Web site:

At age 32, Ruffalo lost his eyesight but never lost his "vision." At the Walt Disney Company McDonald's American Teacher Awards, Ruffalo was named both the Outstanding Coach of the Year and the Outstanding Teacher of the Year for 1995.

Here's the full quote: "We are not born brave and heroic. It is the result of a decision we make when we choose to live lives based on noble principles inspired by courage and impelled by commitment.

"The essence of our humanity
is the spirit that lies within ourselves.
It is a reservoir of tremendous potential.

"When you tap into this potential,
you can move mountains...

"And even if you can't do that,
you can still drill right through them."



Double WOW!

Tap into your Power, friends, and start movin' and drillin'! Hugs and best wishes to you all.
