The other day, I was listening to the audiobook for Three Cups of Tea. I was amazed at how Greg Mortensen reacted when faced with obstacles. Particularly when he was in Pakistan and had his project hijacked to build in other villages, or when his intended beneficiaries decided they wanted to build a bridge instead of a school, he didn't back down. He focused on his end goal over all.
It got me thinking - do I back down at the first obstacle? Do I look for an excuse to not finish or a path to execution?
The walls of the box in "think outside the box" are most often the boundaries that set for ourselves. If I am willing to do something I don't normally do, but that is ethical and legal, can I finish?
