Learn to dream big...

I have failed a lot of times. But when I fail, I try to come back and get a better way of doing the same thing. - Norman Vaughn, explorer, (1905-2005)

Come back and find a better way of doing the same thing.

Thank you Norman Vaughn.

Vaughn knows about succeeding over failure. For 65 years, three attempts and little money, Vaughn tried reach one of the mountains Admiral Byrd named after him after their successful expedition to Antarctica in 1930. Each time he failed.

Still, with more dawns behind him and than in front, Vaughn dared to dream big. He never gave up on his desire to do the impossible -- one, more time. That kept him going. Vaughn lived to be the oldest surviving member of Admiral Byrd's expedition (he was 21 years-old at the time he traveled with the admiral). He did not complete his quest until 1995. He was 86 years-old when he finally succeeded.

Vaughn died five years later. Still the ability to dream big lives on today.

Take the case of Adrian Broca. Blind since the age of 18, Broca is the fastest blind marathon runner in the United States. And he is training hard to compete in this year's Boston Marathon.

Amazing.

When he first started running after losing his sight, Broca would get lost, often fall and suffer from the accompanying cuts and bruises.

Still he kept running...

And dreaming big.

Now here's the question.

If an 86 year-old man with little money and failing health can climb a mountain in Antarctica and a blind guy can run the Boston Marathon, what can we do in our own lives?

The answer: anything.

Start dreaming big today.
