Glad you liked the piece.<br /><br />Hi Rajan:<br />True, prioritising our objectives is very important. <br /><br />Hi Mary:<br />In the pursuit of career goals, our family priorities are sometimes overlooked and taken for granted. What is remarkable is the courage with which Beth has made the choice.<br /><br />Hi Liz:<br />True, getting the priorities right is so important.<br /><br />Hi Vallypee:<br />Yes, the story sort of makes one introspect. <br /><br />Hi Susan:<br />What makes Beth's story interesting the reason she has for giving up.<br /><br />Hi Darla:<br />I didn't know about David Bridger's case. I am sure there are many who are trying hard to keep themselves afloat in the face of tough adversities.<br /><br />Hi Sarala:<br />Yes, confidence and courage to do what one believes is right are so important. Ultimately, one's happiness is what matters.Pradeep Nairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04873369124947878452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8289342.post-63880373966342036342019-06-26T18:25:29.749+05:302019-06-26T18:25:29.749+05:30A strong will can bring a weak physique to win thi...A strong will can bring a weak physique to win things to any extent.

I'd read/seen something about her - so was aware she'd initially not given up, then realised continuing on was a step (swim) too far ... as she needed to be around for Dylan. There's so much humans can do if we put our mind to things ... great #WAWTB post ... thanks so much - cheers Hilary<br />http://positiveletters.blogspot.com/2019/05/we-are-world-blogfest-25-lemon-tree.html Hilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.com
