Default Courage

I have to add something about my signature. I truly believe that when ever we have the courage to allow ourselves to "go up a level" we accomplish/manifest what we want.

Every time someone told me what I wanted was impossible I would ask myself "Why? Why couldn't I do/have/be..." And I have done, received and been all I wanted!

I am the oldest fellow of a prestigious US fellowship. I dreamed about it for a decade when it was virtually impossible for someone from my country to go to the US to get a PHD because of pure politics.

I built a huge penthouse with ought having a clue where the money would come from - it is fully paid for no debts or mortgages. I could see it finished and feel living in it. This has been our home for the past 11 years.

When I came back from the US I decided to be one of the top managers in the banking industry in my country and I was!

My 3 kids have finished ivy league colleges one is applying as I type this.

I went from 97 kg to 67kg in 6 moths after wining the toughest game in my life against cancer.

I used to drive a small Peugeot 205 for 18 years, 206 for 2 years and then one day I decided to "upgrade" to a Toyota RAV4 and then a BMW and so on... only thing I had to my name at the moments of decision was courage and the question WHY NOT, WHY COULDN'T I?
