#41 I Just Met A Few Incredible People

Co-running a business with her mom. Sensing the drive and energy in her voice as she introduces herself. And her brother, who was supposed to be a pilot, giving it up just to help out with his mom's Indian curry business. Fortitude in solidarity.

Running away from home, picking up the pieces, building a life of his own and a family he loves. Looking at situations as opportunities, exemplifying Positive Outlook. Being emotionally stable in all circumstances. Learning from others' weaknesses and making them his strengths.

It just makes me feel like a punk. For a moment I felt ashamed, yet honoured to meet such people. You know the amazing thing? They aren't brothers/sisters-in-Christ, I suspect.

So what can I not do, if even people in the world can be like that?

I went down to pay my dad a little surprise visit at his stall at the National Library and met with an exchange that changed my perspective of "attitude VS situation". Mind-blown.
