The Handicaps made him redouble his effort

Enjoy Every Day : Robert Kennedy - a couple great quotes about Bobby Kennedy. I particularly like the last one:

"He was neither a natural athlete nor a natural student nor a natural success with girls and had no natural gift for popularity. Nothing came easily for him. What he had was a set of handicaps and a fantastic determination to overcome them. The handicaps made him redouble his effort." David Hackett, a school friend, talking about Robert Kennedy.

Ain't that the truth about life. It's about character and determination; talent alone will never do.
