A former baseball player, Manuel had lost a leg in a motorcycle accident. The movie inspired him to try golf. Now, just a few years later, he plays with a handicap of just 4.
Manuel is here in Australia for a charity golf day at Woodlands, Melbourne. He was interviewed on ABC TV's morning show. He is a humble and beautiful person.
I think Manuel offers a life-lesson for us all. For me, his story says find something you love to do that allows you to use and develop your strengths and best skills with a mindset of joy.
As mentors we not only get the chance to do that for ourselves but we can encourage and support others to do so too.
It also reminds me of the wisdom in the words of Charlie "Tremendous" Jones:
"You'll be the same in five years time as you are now, except for the people you meet and the books you read."
Add to that movies, blogs and TV interviews!
