My Heroes... John Hancock...

What a remarkable man! He was orphaned at a young age and taken in by a successful uncle, who adored him, sending him to college and hiring him in his counting house. He not only stood for what he believed in, he stood first. He did not live in the shadows. Dynamic and tenacious, he championed the cause of freedom and liberty his whole life. He only lived to be 55 years old, but those years were full and well lived.

I'm not very far from 55. I can't change how I lived in the past, but I can change how I live in the future.
