A client has maintained a constant training regimen
to scale her brick wall: technology is sending her job to the scrap-yard.
She is an incredibly positive and tenacious
person. The transition/training process has required nearly 6 months of
patience and focus; now she is close to realizing her goal. One door may be closing, but a window is
opening…
Her recent e-mail referenced this excerpt from the
last lecture of Professor Randy Pausch, who offered a legacy talk shortly
before his struggle with cancer ended with his death. Perhaps these words will inspire
those who are trying to scale their own walls
The brick walls are there
for a reason.
The brick walls are not
there to keep us out;
the brick walls are there
to give us a chance
to show how badly we want
something.
The brick walls are there to stop the people
who don’t want it badly
enough.
They are there to stop the
OTHER people!

Randy’s lecture is very inspiring for all to see. It makes one want to go out and scale the brick walls while treasuring the wonders we each have in our lives.
Part of the brick wall scaling is finding meaningful employment, a goal of CAN.
