Today I had the great fortune to see an amazing presentation by Mike Schlappi, who tells an incredible personal story of how he overcame a tragic shooting accident to live an amazing life and gain 3 olympic medals.
I love these types of talks, makes me realize how lucky I’ve been in my life and how there’s no excuses to push hard and dream big.
A friend of mine, originally from my home province of Saskatchewan does a similar talk that Mike does, his name is Alvin Law. Alvin is one of the infamous Thalidomide Babies. Alvin was born without arms and his motto is, “There’s no such word as can’t”
I can’t do justice in this weblog describing what all Alvin can do, but I found a brief video tonight with some highlights. Friends who I’ve shared it with via instant message were pretty impressed, I hope you enjoy it.
So please take a moment and check this video out. I hope it gives you a bit of inspiration and motivation like it does for me.
