Tenacity

"People are either defeated by it (dyslexia) or the become more tenacious." Craig McCaw, pioneer in the cellular phone industry. He is a billionaire!

This quote knocked me over because I have always describe Gracie as tenacious....even before I knew that she had dyslexia. Seems like this is a message to me that she will be one of the tenacious, successful people with dyslexia. She will be in good company with:

  • Charles Schwab - creator of the discount brokerage business
  • John Chamers - CEO of Cisco
  • Richard Branson - founder of Virgin Atlantic and Virgin Records
  • David Boies - celebrated trial lawyer best known for beating Microsoft
  • Albert Einstein
  • Winston Churchill
  • Scott Adams - creator of cartoon, Dilbert
  • Leonardo da Vinci
  • Jay Leno
  • Whoopi Goldberg
  • Thomas Edison
