Real life stories
that are based on true incidences both wonderful and inspirational.
1. Today, I
interviewed my grandmother for part of a research paper I'm working on for my
Psychology class. When I asked her to define success in her own words, she
said, "Success is when you look back at your life and the memories make
you smile."
2. Today, I asked my
mentor - a very successful business man in his 70's- what his top 3 tips are
for success. He smiled and said, "Read something no one else is reading,
think something no one else is thinking, and do something no one else is
doing."
3. Today, after a 72
hour shift at the fire station, a woman ran up to me at the grocery store and
gave me a hug. When I tensed up, she realized I didn't recognize her. She let
go with tears of joy in her eyes and the most sincere smile and said, "On
9-11-2001, you carried me out of the World Trade Center."
Wow...
