Today would be the 109th birthday of Theodor Seuss Geisel, Dr. Seuss.
In his career the good doctor published 48 books and sold over 200 million copies.
Dr. Seuss was more than a wacky wizard of words, he was not one to shrink from a challenge.
His first book "And to Think I Saw T\It on Mulberry Street" was rejected by more than two dozen publishers before someone saw his potential.
But even after acheiving success Dr. Seuss was not free from challenge, even if only in good natured fun. Seuss' publisher challenged him that he could not write a book consisting of no more than 50 words. Seuss answered the challenge with "Green Eggs and Ham".
How do you respond to a challenge?
"You're off to great places!
Today is your day!
Your mountain is waiting,
So... get on your way!"
