I am grateful for...

a soft place to rest my head...I know for many, this is a luxury.  I didn't do anything to earn it except keep my head above water.  


In a 60 Minutes profile of Zhang Xin (billionaire real estate developer changing the face of Beijing), she talked about months as a child when she slept on a desk with a dictionary for a pillow.  

I wonder, was she born with the courage to rise up from her difficult circumstances?  Did she learn the skills she needed from her parents?  Or, did the hardships of her childhood awaken something in her?  

It's a fascinating question to me.
