THERE IS A STRONG REASON, THERE IS A WAY...

Rob had to attend a training event where 500 people were waiting for him. The event was in Washington DC so Rob had to take a flight from New York.

At that time, the city was suffering heavy snow. However, three days before the flight, there was no information about flight cancellations from the airline. two days, one day before the flight, there was still no information.

It seemed that the flight would still be going. But the night before the flight, Rob got a call informing him the flight had been cancelled. He asked the airline to find another flight not only because for his sake but because of the 500 people waiting for him. They found one flight for him at 6am and he had to be at the conference at 6pm that day.

To catch up with the sudden change in the flight, he had to drive to the airport from 11pm that night but he felt still lucky. He reached the airport after 6 hours 30 minutes in the heavy snow (normally it would take only 3 hours). He was about to enter the check-in counter when he discovered that the flight was delayed till the following day.

Now his only alternative was to drive all the way by car to the event. And he did it.

The 500 people cried when they heard the story told by the man who did enough to deal with whatever it took!

If you create a strong reason to do something you will always find a way! When something is important enough, we create a compelling reason for doing it...
