If you don't, you'll never have chances. Deb's advice is along the same lines as Wayne Gretzky's famous quote, "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take." Deb always hears NO as NOT YET. Maybe your plan is not the way you originally envisioned it, and that's ok. Always be prepared. Opportunities are constantly being presented; you don't want to miss them. Every time we turn on the news, there's negativity. But there is so much beauty in the world. Not everyone can go to medical school, become a doctor, and save lives, and that is why everyone can do kind things for each other and make that difference in the world. Stephen A.
