The luckiest man in pajamas


I was drawn to this article because of the intriguing headline. But very soon I was on the verge of tears.

This is a story of hardship being neutralized by the overwhelming power of friendships. The man who is the subject of the story has built an amazing following of friends who have volunteered to become caretakers and companions. Certainly anyone who can pull of this amazing feat must have oodles of self-esteem that is attractive to others.
  • What are the multiple hardships that this man has faced?
  • What are some examples from the story that imply he has self-respect and self-efficacy?
  • What qualities and characteristics discussed in lecture do you think this man has used in his life to defend his self-esteem against hardships?
  • Has his story inspired you to consider doing something differently in your own life?
Here's a link to the story...
