Re: Motivation Examples

My contribution to this is a book by a not famous and not spectacular 
person, but that of a 50+ year old woman who one day decided to 
traverse the Appalachian Trail and the story that goes with it.  The 
blurb from Amazon.com has the following description.

2.              There Are Mountains to Climb

From Library Journal
At 51, Deeds felt a yearning for some meaning in life and received 
inspiration while reading a young woman's account of hiking the 
complete Appalachian Trail (AT). After spending a year planning and 
conditioning, Deeds set off on her quest to "thru-hike" all 2,155 miles 
of the AT alone. "Trail magic" came in the form of a free meal, a pep 
talk from a fellow thru-hiker, or a glass of KoolaidR along the road. 
After a broken leg sidelined Deeds, she returned to the trail one year 
later accompanied by a camera crew to complete her journey. The diary 
format of this print record of her experience compels the reader 
forward with Deeds through bee stings, insect bites, rain, sleet, and 
extreme humidity. Her town sketches are as interesting as descriptions 
of life on the trail, and her memories of fellow travelers are 
priceless. Moreover, she fully conveys how life slows down and becomes 
much simpler when reduced to the necessities found in a backpack. This 
journey of spiritual renewal and record of experiences shared with 
instant friends of all ages is highly recommended for public 
libraries.?Lisa S. Wise, EBSCO, Springfield, Va.
