Definition Of Toughness

So I'm watchin' a re-run of the show This Emotional Life: "Rethinking Happiness" (I'm watchin' the first half of the show; I only saw the second half last night) . This is truly one of the best shows/documentaries I've ever seen in my life .

As I mentioned before, they interviewed different people from different backgrounds . One of the people they interviewed was a man named Robert Shumaker . He was a P.O.W. from the Vietnam War . His story intrigued me sooo much that it changed my life in the sense of the way I think about my future regarding my dreams . . let's just say his story made me more optimistic .

I'm not going to write about his whole story, but I can tell you this man is one tough person . The fact that he found ways to be positive all throughout the EIGHT YEARS he was locked up and tortured in Vietnam should be enough to tell you why I admire his story . I suggest everyone to do a research on his story .
