This video was taken in December 2011 featuring the most inspiring women in the Technology, Entertainment and Design field worldwide. Tan Le was 4 years old when she was one of the many thousands of 'boat people' fleeing Vietnam during the divisive war from 1963 - 1975. Her short 10 minute speech moved many to tears, as her family of 3 women, grandmother, mother and her overcame all adversities, working terribly hard for years to eke out a living, and to improve their impoverished lives.
When you have adversity thrown into your face - what do you do ?
1. Say, its fated ? My response - Bullshxxx. Life is a sequence of totally random events, good for some,
bad for others, and making the most of your life is up to you. Good, bad, wonderful,tragic, ecstatic,
never to be forgotten or painful. This is life.
2. Back down and hide and lie low ?
3. Make the best of the circumstance. When Life throws you lemons make lemonade.
Carpe Diem. We go around the block only once. Whether you want to stroll, run, ride, drive,fly or crawl is up to one person, YOU.
