Losing hope is a dangerous thing. So I’m writing to share the story of an incredible man who proves that the human spirit can triumph over incredible odds through perseverance and determination.
Success has got a lot to do with having the right attitude and the right influence. Learning about this man’s journey inspires me to push myself a little harder, dream a little bigger and work to create a difference that matters. His name is Dr. William Tan and I hope he can inspire you too.
Sometimes it takes one incident to change the rest of your life. And this was true in Robert’s case. I think God wanted me to learn something from this kind gentleman. So he sat him right next to me on our flight to Singapore.
Robert towers at about 6 feet, but because he has these kind downward slanting eyes, he reminds me of a gentle giant. He seemed really prepared for our 4-hour long flight. Armed with a tablet, chips and a boxful of cookies, he sat quietly watching a movie. He barely moved except to help me pull out a magazine in front of him.
I’m not really the kind of person who can chat up a total stranger, so I have my husband to thank for learning about his story.
