Hello, Wade // first let me join the listing of our role-models: one evening there was a debate-show on our national television: our biggest experts talking about economy. One of them stuttered, and pretty severely. It was really the FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE that I had seen a grown-up, a serious person, a person who stutters, stuttering openly on the television. I learned that this brave man was and is the guvernor of the National Bank of Croatia. You can read about him in this Conference's "Stuttering Didn't Stop Them" intro. I don't see him on the TV much and I don't know if he avoids media, but his decisions are strongly valued and appreciated. I admire that he is recognized as one of the top experts in bank business, and that his stuttering is so irrelevant that no one even mentions it. // I really think that people who are able to achieve so much, just answering the questions you posed and heading into the positive direction no matter what, that they are super-heroes. Like Lance Armstrong is. They are made of crypton. Ultimate fighters.
