I read about this story first on Hear and Play.com’s website, which I was told through their Twitter update. Mr. Rogers was an amazing person. He cared so much about teaching people about life, music, and each other. Few realize that another lesson to learn from him did not come from any of his episodes. Rather, his biggest lessons came from what he had to go through in order to male the show possible. I wanted to repost this because I think its important.
Daily Motivation’s Youtube Page uploaded this inspirational video. He did all he could to make his vision become a reality. He knew he had to help others, and he knew it woldn’t be easy. When times are tough you have to stand up for what is right. Below is the video of Mister Rogers doing all he can…. not for himself - but for YOU!
“If you’ve got a vision… an idea for something… or a dream that seems bigger than life — you can do it! People who have brought about big change were common folks with uncommon persistence, work ethics, and steadfast commitment. There’s alot of inspirational video on Youtube, but there’s also alot of inspirational stories in your own life. Think of what you’ve had to overcome, or maybe something a friend had to fight. Think about that, and you’ll realize you have what it takes. You have drive, passion, and care to bring people together and to conquer your dreams and vision.
I’ll end this post in the same way Mr. Rogers did: “You’ve made this a special day just by you being you. There’s no person in the whole world like you, and I like you just the way you are.”

Gotta give him credit for being focused on his goals.
Totally agree Allan. He was not only passionate, but driven too. And that drive helped millions of people.
Wow, Walt. You have no idea how much I needed a pickup this morning and this really did it. Thank God @dayngr shouted you out.
Thanks.

Help!
Were trying to visualise(spelling) the rust belt in video’s and blogs and picture’s. It is Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood. I’m on Forbes in Pittsburgh and he (WQED) is/was on Fifth in Pittsburgh, two parralel(spelling) streets. Look at the 11/11 stuff at “November 11 Neighborhood Blogging event Started by Cynthia Closkey.” At http://rustbelt.ning.com/.
This all started in a room next to the room you did your live video from at pod camp in Pittsburgh. I know you are busy but we need a way to gather and then display all of the stuff. I am leaning towards Google maps. New York, New York is part of the rust belt. It is just so big and changes so fast no one noticed the mills when they left, or did they? Could a person zoom into a map that turned into a mosaic(spelling) or jigsaw of images and when you clicked on them they would be pictures,blogs, and/or videos?
