Runner gets homeless back on track.

What an inspiring story about a runner who is training for a marathon. One day while training, the runner had another opportunity to think about the current situation of the homeless she ran by every morning. An idea came to mind to get the homeless on a training program that can get them on the right track in life. Many quit drugs, and become dedicated. Thus it taught the homeless discipline, how to set and achieve goals, and a new found self-worth. If you are to be homeless in particular shelters, the program states you must run with the group of others three times a week between 530 -600 am.

What an amazing heart and drive this runner has.

"Running really is a metaphor for life," she says. "There is always another mile. You just have to take it one step at a time."

Wow, Shoes?

Check out this article. A study shows that if you were to buy three or more shoes a year, you are more than likely leadership material. Reasons include: " These qualities were defined as having ideas and vision, and a style with others that is both inclusive and decisive."

It has often been said that you can tell alot about a person by the shoes they wear. It is now backed up. A crazy thing is it is conclusive across the board regardless of age, income and gender.

According to this theory, I am more than enough to be leadership material. It is correct too, consider I want to be in leadership positions in the future.
