...my heroes

I like people who pick themselves up by their bootstraps. And I encourage so many to do just that. That may make me seem a bit insensitive. But I do it with only people I think are capable of accomplishing such a feat. I know some folks, for instance, who are generally depressed. Which makes it difficult coping with life. But some of them, it seems to me, have the inner strength to get out of the doldrums. To become positive thinkers again. All they need is more self-confidence. And no better way to gain that confidence than by taking a good hold of one's bootstraps, and pulling up. They often become my heroes. --Jim Broede
