My Heroes... James Wilson...

Mr. Wilson was born in Scotland. He was 24 when he immigrated to America and became a supporter of the American fight for liberty. He was also a lawyer. When he wasn't serving in Congress, he was actively supporting the country in his private life. He was 34 when he voted for the Declaration of Independence. He was only 56 years old when he passed.

He accomplished so much without the help of a computer, a car, a telephone... He simply did what he needed to do. He did what was asked of him, but also had healthy boundaries, recognizing his own worth. The French King agreed to pay him for representing France in America, but then refused to pay him. Mr. Wilson expressed his displeasure and resigned.

As I read, in every case, these men were not idle.
