The Man in the Iron Lung

This is Paul Alexander.

He is 74 and lives in Dallas, TX — inside a large “iron lung”. He is a polio survivor.

And although Paul has been paralyzed from the neck down since age 6… He graduated 2nd in his high school class, earned a bachelors degree at University of TX, and then went on to become a lawyer! He taught himself to write with a pen in his mouth.

So the next time you are feeling sorry for yourself, like you want to give up, or that life is unfair… Think of Paul Alexander for inspiration.

“I never gave up and I’m not going to” – Paul Alexander

Happy Thursday. Get out there and do your best!
