I could do half a pull-up when I first started training, ... I literally, I tried to pull myself up, and I was shaking. And I couldn't do it. And I couldn't believe it. I thought, you know, and as a kid, you had, doing pull-ups and stuff. And then when I was done, I could do 11.

I think we've allowed ourselves in this society to become a little bit arrogant. People have all sorts of reasons that they live in poverty, and pulling yourself up by your bootstraps isn't always an option. It's too often that we sweep something away when we come upon something better. We need to remember that the person struggling to get by has value too.
