From the Quote of the Week Files for December 1, 2008

"Why can't people just see the best in things? It gets you so much further in life. It's always negative this and negative that. That's all you see and hear."

That was the Quote of the Week for May 27 and was said by a remarkable young man named John Challis. Included with the quote was a link to his story and a number of you emailed back saying how moved you were by his story (

Unfortunately, I just learned of John's passing and here are a couple of links that tells of his life and courage as inspired people around the country with positive messages in his final days.
