Turner Enterprises, Inc. had the
opportunity this past weekend at our National Conference to hear from one of
the most influential speakers, Anthony Robles. Anthony Robles won the 2010-2011
NCAA individual wrestling championship even though he was born with only one
leg. He enriched all in attendance with his theory of being “unstoppable”. He
spoke of the challenges that life presents us, yet it is up the individual to
reach their goals regardless of what life throws at them. Robles said “bad
things happen to everyone, you can either decide to let those things break you
or decide to get through it in one piece”. Robles inspired Turner Enterprises
to constantly work towards their goals no matter what challenges they may face.
Anthony Robles ended his speech with his poem “Unstoppable”.
"Every soul who comes to Earth with a
leg or two at birth must wrestle his
opponents knowing it’s not what is, but
what can be that measures worth. Make it hard, just make it possible and through
pain, I won’t complain. My spirit is unconquerable. Fearless I will face each
foe for I know I am capable. I don't care what’s probable, through blood sweat and tears I am unstoppable."
