  1. While my story isn't as dramatic, tragic or even as remarkable as Mr. Carson's; I have a similar claim to support the whole concept:

    In 1996, while returning home from work, I experienced occluded field of vision bilaterally, vertigo, left sided ataxia and left sided hemiperesis. As it turned out, I had a giant cerebral aneurysm in the right posterior communicating artery at the junction of the Circle of Willis.

    I was told by my neurosurgeon that I should start looking for another line of work, as I'd NEVER go back to fighting fire or EMS ever again.

    Fifty-one (51) weeks later, almost to the day; I stood in front of my neurosurgeon in my EMS uniform...on the clock, and shook his hand and thanked him for everything he had done to essentially save my life. After he reminded me that I had come 'a long way' from when he first saw me, I grinned and told him that I had one last thing to say to him. He looked perplexed and asked what was on my mind. I simply grinned more and then said, "You lied!".

    He laughed because he knew that I was referring to his prognosis. I went on to fight fire and also worked and was able to maintain my EMS license for another 10 years.

    When I hear people (especially able bodied and not 'intellectually challenged') bemoaning the fact that "they just can't" do something; I simply look at them and point out that it's not that they "can't", they just don't want it enough to push themselves hard enough to accomplish it; and by doing so, are doing nothing more than giving up and cheating themselves in the process.

    The bottom line remains: The ONLY person/thing holding you back from accomplishing your goals is YOU!

  2. Reckless driving and DUI or DWI offenses are separate crimes. Reckless driving isn't a lesser-included offense of DUI or DWI because each crime is separate and distinct and can be proved by different evidence. Reckless driving involves how a vehicle was being operated; it isn't necessary to show that the driver used drugs or alcohol to prove a violation of a reckless driving law. In a prosecution for DUI or DWI, on the other hand, how the vehicle was being operated might tend to show that the driver was impaired, but it's not a necessary ingredient of the offense. In deciding a reckless driving case, a court weighs the nature and degree of risk disregarded by the driver, the nature and purpose of his actions and the circumstances known to the driver while he was driving. The prosecution must show more than the driver's simple, gross or criminal negligence in proving reckless driving. Nevertheless, a driver who gets behind the wheel and drives knowing that he or she is intoxicated or drunk and that his or her physical condition is impaired might be found guilty of reckless driving.
