I solemnly agree with Max Eddington when he says “So I have learned to be grateful. I have learned from the strongest person in the world how to be grateful.” It was such an unusual moment for me and I felt touched.
Like Max, I too complain about getting up and doing things, but really I’m very selfish. So many don’t have the opportunities I do, like going to school every day, or having the ability to succeed in life. That’s why I no longer complain about doing chores or having to walk to my car. I have learned from Lance Flake and Max Eddington not to take life for granted and to live as if it’s your last day.
