...I usually get a glaring reminder of what a whiny, little bitch I can sometimes be.

I've been getting my ass kicked by the flu all week. I gotta say I've been feeling pretty sorry for myself. You know...high fever, chills, terrible cough, can't sleep. Really horrible stuff. [Cry]

Sit down at computer, open FoxNews.com to read the news, see this:

What can you possibly say about a guy that goes thru this and comes out the other side with this outlook on life? Fortunately, you don't have to say anything...he's got that covered, too:


"Your outlook can change everything. It's 100 percent perspective," he said. "I try and help as many people as possible who are in worse situations."

Spc Maes, I am not worthy of walking on the same planet as you, dude. You and thousands of others like you. Thanks for changing my perspective even if it's only temporary.

Yep. Sometimes we need a reminder on our perspectives and how small we can be at times.

That's pretty incredible. When I'm feeling sorry for myself I'll watch an episode of Game of Thrones, but this story is over the top.

Damn. That's 'next level' commitment to your team. I think it's also an example of the 'bullet proof' attitude of youth. I doubt someone over 40 would feel the same way.

That's a humbling reminder. Thanks for sharing!
