Many of you may have seen something about Nick already, a phenomenal motivational speaker who has not let the fact that he has not had limbs since birth him hold him back. His message bears repeating over and over again.
I implore you to watch; it is a great exercise in humility and appreciation.

Happiness Between The Spider and The Fly
SAD, BUT TRUE:
“In an age when everyone is ‘overworked, underpaid and trying to multitask,’ a phone call is likely to be an unwelcome interruption, so it should be avoided…”
—J. Whitmore.
Considering all the phone numbers, voicemails, e-mails, bulletin boards, and IMs my “friends” and I actively use, I quickly counted three dozen channels of communication.
Today’s ever-expanding web of communication and networking is both an entrapping bane that raises the bar of expectations and diminishes our ability to be patient, to focus, and engage people in a meaningful manner that nurtures intimacy and relationships—as well as an opportunity to inspire and influence others.
Happiness lies in the balance between being the gregarious spider and autonomous fly.

Learn By It
If we got wiser before we got old(er) we would sap all the fun out of youth, when time and effort lack the meaning gained with experience. The average person only truly enjoys life twice—first as children, when we don't know any better; and secondly as wiser, older people, when we know better. A lot of the in-between is a matter of running that gets us nowhere, especially if we do not take the time to learn by it.
