Don't know where this belongs, but this inspiring and amazing success story of a blind man from the Philippines is somehow connected to content research and development - not copywriting, but writing per se:

We intend to work with the man and his company sometime soon. Post your thoughts about this story on this thread.

I don't know about you but success stories mean nothing to me at all http://foolstown.com/sm/shar.gif

They might be inspiring but if they don't motivate to take immediate action builiding your success, such stories are jus another of the many articles that you read here and there http://foolstown.com/sm/val.gif

Trusted Writer, you didn't find the man's story motivating enough to take hold of your writing career and move forward to helping others through the industry while making lots of cash along the way? The man is blind, and he just started something that is possibly a first in his country, and you don't find this a challenge to you? I'd love to hear your success story in contrast to his!

I did not mean the man's story in no fascinating and encouraging but behind a comment like mine you can often find a reason for taking immediate action toward your personal and financial success or keep it just as a good reading.

More than my success story contrasting with that of the man, I could sadly talk of my story helping people across the industry without making a cent but them making me feel like being "used" as Webgal refers to herself in another post :(

Maybe my wounds are still too fresh despite the story comes from a while back, but I have to move forward and, who knows, maybe tomorrow I will read again the man's story and enjoy myself such a challenge http://foolstown.com/sm/newy.gif

Something like this definitely makes my day:

"We don't need to give people fish, and we don't need to teach them how to fish, either. Rather, we shouldn't stop until we've revolutionized the fishing industry."

Thoughts?

Hats off to the guy! I was always impressed with such people, Helen Keller was one of my idols when I was a kid. But, my next thought was: " Isn't this a brilliant PR story? "
This way or another I applaud to a person who received a lemon in life an succeed to make a lemonade. May we all take a cup, at least once in a while...

The page on our website is about me. No lies there just to make an interesting PR story - just plain facts. I'm even more amazed at the other events that weren't mentioned on the page.

I felt this story to be very inspiring and nerve breaking.

Nerve-breaking - literally and figuratively! I'm glad you also found it inspiring.
