Wow.

Posted on October 13th, 2006 by Sacha Chua

Wow.

I'm still...

Simon told me the story of his first project. There is *no* way I can do it justice. If you ever hear him tell it, you'll understand instantly why I can't help but say "Wow."

Here is someone who makes things happen. Even if his back is to the wall, he won't give up - he'll find a way to make things work.

Simply by being, he inspires me to push beyond myself.

He's amazing.
