Remembrance

Tianasquare Nineteen years ago, there was this Chinese dude who stood in front of a tank, and for a moment time stopped as all eyes were on Tiananmen Square.

Even more than I want to be Tony Stark, I hope in my life to have an opportunity to do something as unbelievably inspiring and awesome as this man did.

So the next time you meet someone who is 19 years old or younger, smile softly to yourself and remember where you were on 4 June 1989.

And always remember, as our next president said... "It is important to focus not just on how to win, but why we should."

Sometimes just being the guy who stands in front of the tank is more important than what happens after.
