Ordinary can be Extraordinary

The man worked for a power company as a line man. When he retired he thought he would do a good deed within his retirement. He started up an ambulance system of merely a few ambulances.

Thereafter as the service he gave came to be noticed by many within a nearby small town. He went on to then build slowly a many ambulance centers. He had leased land with the intention to achieve a goal when the time was right. After twenty years he came to have the largest privately owned ambulance companies in this country. He had a small goal and today we talked about how he achieved it and basically he never gave a thought as to becoming prosperious as that was never his aim nor mission. His mission was to do something that would be productive.

What I found amazing with Cec was that he was an ordinary person. You would never know how much he owned, nor would he say. He wasnt within that element of being an aristocrate. I find that those that have been very productive in life are more often than not - very humble and ordinary people.

He know owns as well a fleet of medical aircrafts. And what I found truly profound was in how down to earth he is. Who would have ever thought a mere lineman would come up with a company as such - yet it was based on the merit of doing something in retirement and then without the regard of things growing to the point where he grew. It's a neat success story. More often than not I find that this is the case and yeah it was apart of my day. People much of the likes always have amazed me. As success is a commodity that is derived not for the money.

The money is merely the byproduct. The success is so often the understated but the triumph is within the doing and deed.
