It was clear to me that my Army experience was just going to be a two-year detour en route to my fitness profession. So when asked ‘Ann, did you ever think you were going to be a general officer, to say nothing about a four-star?’ I say, ‘not in my wildest dreams.’ There is no one more surprised than I - except of course my husband. You know what they say, ‘Behind every successful woman is an astonished man.’
Wow…. this is an incredibly brilliant idea. It is a cheap, fun, maintainable way to provide safe drinking water in Africa.
And of course I can’t help applying this to politics, and Barack Obama’s naysayers. Who says he can’t he make meaningful changes or that we can’t afford to solve our problems – even now. At least some of the problems of this world could be solved with one “Aha!” moment. I hope Obama will surround himself with a host of brilliant Aha thinkers!
