This is the story of Johnny, a young 19 yr old boy with Down Syndrome and the difference he made at the store where he worked. To me this shows the power each of us have on Customer Retention… and the ability to make a difference in lives of others.

NEVER GIVE UP IN LIFE
A Truly Inspirational Video

Imagine being born without arms. No arms to wrap around someone, no hands to experience touch, or to hold another hand with. Or what about being born without legs? Having no ability to dance, walk, run, or even stand on two feet. Now put both of those scenarios together no arms and no legs. What would you do? How would that effect your everyday life?

Meet Nick… Born in 1982 in Melbourne, Australia, without any medical explanation or warning, Nicholas Vujicic (pronounced Voy-a-chich) came into the world with neither arms or legs. Having had an uneventful pregnancy and no family history to expect this condition, imagine the shock his parents felt when they saw their first born, brand new baby boy, only to find he was what the world would consider imperfect and abnormal. A limbless son was not what nurse Dushka Vujicic, and her husband Pastor Borris Vujicic had been expecting. How would their son live a normal happy life? What could he ever do or become when living with what the world would see as such a massive disability? Little did they or anyone know that this beautiful limbless baby would one day be someone who would inspire and motivate people from all walks of life, touching lives all over the world.

LIFE SEEN THROUGH
SPECIAL GLASS

Our world today has us “cocooning” driving home and putting our cars straight into the garage without noticing those around us. And when we do get out, most of us are consumed by our needs, never taking the time to look at what motivates other. This video is something all of us should take heart to and remember it is not just the strangers around us, but our own families – wife / husband, children, parents.

THE LOST CAUSE KID
FROM MAKEADIFFERENCE.COM

This is a story about the Power of One person to dramatically improve the life of an SED middle school student, who was being written off as a “lost cause.” One teacher’s decision and intention transformed not only one child’s life, but a classroom with 65% at-risk youth. FOR ME: This is a story about so many of the adult students I have trained. They slid through school thinking they were less. As an instructor training Adults on the use of various computer software applications, my first job is usually to make them BELIEVE they can do the job. Our society is so into telling everyone what they do wrong – I believe it is time to help everyone realize what they can do right.

This is a true story written by John Wayne “Jack” Schlatter for Chicken Soup For The Soul Vol. 1 in 1993. It has been believed to be a fable, passed along for almost two decades: A simple act of kindness dramatically altered the direction this young life was headed for that fateful day. There are parts of this that are slow, but well worth watching all the way to the end. It explifies how one person can save a life. At a time where suicide is so dramatically on the rise, this video makes you stop and think.
