This is a true story:
there was once a reputable stock broker who reside in New York who just started his small family with his loving wife.
On a trip to a business meeting, his plane crashed and he suffered 90% body skin burn damage. His skin just keep tearing and dropping off while in the hospital ICU, imagine the physical torture of it. When his families and friends came to visit him, he didn't show any sign of anger or pity for himself, instead he told them that it is just a "temporary problem" and "it will be fine soon". The first time when he returned home, he didn't cry when he saw his badly burnt face in the mirror. He just turn and look at his wife who was then by his side, and said "Dear, I think i can take some time off finally from my hectic work for a good facial and spa". When one of his friend who didn't know about the news called him out for lunch one day, he straight away agree. When they met, his friend was totally shocked and worried and asked "what happen to you? why didn't you tell me so I can be by your side to help you out a bit". His reply to his friend was " IT'S JUST A SMALL TEMPORARY PROBLEM, Don't worry, If not for the free rest time i had during my recuperation, I wouldn't have known that I actually have great interest in being an entrepreneur, I started my first internet website business last week and look, i wouldn't be able to do it if i continue my earlier work schedule as a Stock broker".
And finally after 8 years of regular skin therapy and surgery, our dear friend really recovered 85% of his original outlook, and doctors had told him that the technology in recovery and removal of burnt cell therapy is constantly improving and soon he will recover even more of his original look. Really, it was a temporary problem.
He is now an owner of several small businesses and a avid speaker supporting for charitable causes.
