A couple of weeks ago we linked to clip showing amputee footballers making the most of what they do have rather than wallowing in self pity and mourning what they don't have.

This story from The Mail is another fantastic example of resilience and perseverance and how success can be achieved no matter what our 'situation'.

The NZ Herald recently cited a study that has shown that men with an inflated view of their own brilliance may be so 
plagued by worry they put their health at risk.

The study found that narcissism, or self-love, is on the rise in men and is causing them to suffer stress-related illnesses like high blood pressure, which can lead to heart disease. 

If the study findings are correct then I guess humble and grounded ugly guys like me have little, compared to those handsome blokes, to worry about!

With another year just starting it may be tempting to have looked back and/or be looking forward and lamenting the thing or things that we DON'T have - this clip then is a fantastic example of guys making the most of what they DO have.
