Aiissh, you have to give it to the man, the determination, and the support of friends, no give up attitude...
It reminds me of a Joel Osteen podcast I heard about Now Faith, and how Jesus approached the paralyzed guy who'd stayed by the pool of Bethseda for a whole 38yrs. You see every so often, the waters would stir and whomever touched the water first was cured. No one was there to help him, but even after 38yrs, he hadn't given up.
No I have to yearn more for that - dream big, take risks, fail harder - attitude.
