April 16, 2013 Indomitable Will

"Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from indomitable will." Mahatma Gandhi

Auburn, NY

This is the quote that I gave to each member of Student Council as well as to some of my colleagues today. My message to them is simple and concise. During times of sadness and confusion at work, in our nation, and abroad, one might become afraid, but I believe that humans around the world possess a powerful spirit which moves them to produce positive actions. All of these difficult challenges push us to look fear in the face; however, let's choose to find courage and gain strength to move forward together. One must focus on the heroic actions big and small, the moments of comfort between friends and strangers, and the strong will of human nature to help each other throughout the nations.
