Your words became my motto. I constantly found myself in the unique position of being either the first (woman doctor in Maryland Rotary) or one of the few women (chief medical reporters) in my field. I gained strength every time I said , “Yes, I’ll try that.”

 Encouraged by your  48  , I have forged ahead (毅然前行) with my life’s journey, less afraid to make mistakes, and  49  meeting each challenge. You did it, and now I’m  50  it. So, get to run. So much to do, so many dreams to live.
