Had missed him last time he was here in Hong Kong.
Will not make that mistake again.
That guy is wonderful.
Have a a great weekend, and step forward in glee.

Definately an inspiration. Not only for what he has been able to overcome but with what he is doing with his life. He is a true gift from God. Stu

nature in all it's diversity is going to make at least one of everything possible, in our cases it is a matter of attitude and making the most of what we have and a lot of that starts with attitude. I'm sure he has bad days too but getting past them is the measure of a person; it seems he stands pretty tall:<))

About 4 or 5 years ago, he was here in HK, but my school at the time was not interested enough to get on the bandwagon to sponsor him. Yet, we urgently need people like him to engage our youth as we got one of the highest suicide rates in the world, for youngsters up to 20 year. And that despite of having very little problems with weapons or drugs.
So I'm familiar with him for quite a while. He certainly has had his fair share of being down, but somehow managed to rise above it all.
Its a timely reminder for all of us to treasure the things that we have instead of letting the thought about the things we want dominate most of our day.
Secondly; I thought it suitable for here, as the secondary message is about getting started and/or trying something new, instead of worrying about failing (its also a note to myself in this regard).
Best regards and have a great week ahead, Kurt
