The top news story in Australia today is the successful return of young Jessica Watson who sailed around the world by herself at the tender age of 16.
She has demonstrated outstanding courage, vision and determination, not for someone young, but for someone of ANY age. She has earned her place as a role model, and will no doubt, be set on a successful career and a financially abundant life based most likely on endorsements and consulting.
For anyone tempted to be envious of the riches that will inevitably be coming her way, just ask yourself if YOU would have been prepared to undertake the 210 day grueling journey by yourself. Even if you take away the sailing bit, would you have been able to survive those 210 days just in your own company?
In the finest historical and mythical tradition, she has undertaken a huge quest and survived. She has earned her prizes. And she undertook it voluntarily – most of us have to be pushed to undergo such heroic feats.
I’m finding it amusing that almost all commentators are saying how she will not be an amazing inspiration for the youth of today. But I think she has a lesson for ALL of us.
