Overcoming Obstacles: The story of Helen Keller and the softness of America #9
What does a true obstacle look like? Likely, it's some difficulty so great that you must fundamentally change to even face it and must also be fundamentally changed in overcoming it. Helen Keller faced this kind of obstacle when fever stole her sight and hearing. Despite this, and with the help of Annie Sullivan, Helen was the most popular girl in school, wrote an extraordinary amount, and became the Helen Keller we all should study. What was the last obstacle that you overcame?

Self Reliance: We're all just floating in a big old hyper-sea #2
"Insist on yourself; never imitate. Your own gift can present every moment with the cumulative force of a whole life's cultivation; but of the adopted talent of another, you only have an extemporaneous, half possession. That which each can do best, none but his maker can teach him. No man yet knows what it is nor can, tell that person has excepted it. Where is the master who could have taught Shakespeare? Where is the master who could have instructed Franklin, or Washington, or Bacon or Newton? Every man is a unique."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
