Four summers ago I was run over on a freeway by a transport truck. Snapped my spine. Was told I would never walk again.

I walk now, but don't run. I gained weight and have to be very careful what kind of exercise I do. I lost my job at the time, and when into massive debt.

Today, I work as a Senior Flash Developer for one of the largest advertising agencies in North America. They know the day will come when I can no longer walk, and are already making the building more accessible.

I am quickly getting out of debt, own a 2000 sq ft house, and am thankful for the blessed life I have.

Just remember, what doesn't kill you has made a tactical error.
