“…The net worth of our lives isn’t determined by how much we possess.”
Luke 12:15
America is comprised of achievers – under and over, who had to overcome obstacles despite the ominous challenges some faced. Beginning with their pursuit for education, these influencers achieved goals beyond their wildest imaginations, perhaps. Nonetheless, they are examples that we can use for inspiration in our own quest for excellence.
