Sunday, August 25, 2002Mr. Emanuel traces his drive back to his teenage years, when working at a meat counter at 17, he badly cut his right middle finger but did not get quick medical attention. He developed gangrene and part of the finger had to be cut off. He spent seven weeks in the hospital and ran a fever that reached 106 degrees. "I was a different person from that experience," he said. "I was not going to let a single moment pass when I didn't do something that makes a difference in my life." Imagine to what heights of ambition he might have risen if he had actually had a life-threatening illness rather than a finger-threatening illness. posted by Sydney on 8/25/2002 07:57:00 AM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
