1. Fall and Rise

Today, when I slipped on the wet tile floor, a boy in a wheelchair caught me before I slammed my head on the ground. He said, “Believe it or not, that’s almost exactly how I injured my back 3 years ago.”

2. A Father's Advice

Today, my father told me, “Just go for it and give it a try! You don’t have to be a professional to build a successful product. Amateurs started Google and Apple. Professionals built the Titanic.”

3. The Power of Uniqueness

Today, I asked my mentor—a very successful businessman in his 70s—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.”

4. Looking Back

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.”

5. Try and You Shall Know

I am blind by birth. When I was 8 years old, I wanted to play baseball. I asked my father, "Dad, can I play baseball?" He said, "You'll never know until you try." When I was a teenager, I asked him, "Dad, can I become a surgeon?" He replied, "Son, you'll never know until you try." Today, I am a surgeon, just because I tried!
