I Am Potential: Patrick Henry Hughes
Image via Wikipedia Patrick Henry Hughes was born blind and without the ability to fully straighten his arms and legs, making him unable to walk. Additionally, two steel rods were surgically attached to Patrick’s spine to correct scoliosis.
Despite the overwhelming circumstances, Patrick has overcome his physical issues to excel as a musician and student. He is usually a straight ‘A’ student, having received only 5 ‘B’s’ since 6th grade up to and including his sophomore year of college.
Shooting Hoops Is Easy
Last week, I was playing basketball alone in my court, shooting the hoops. It was easy but after 30 minutes, it gets really boring because there’s no competition. When someone’s blocking me to shoot, it’ll get MORE difficult and there’s where the fun begins. Conclusion, games or sports are not fun if there are no challenges.
I used to whine when I’m facing obstacles for my internet businesses but when I start taking the metaphor of playing a game, I’m no longer that frustrated anymore. If you can treat doing business like playing a game, will you see things differently now?
