Teamwork is Dreamwork

The attendance of Captain Scott Kelly at Trinity, a retired NASA astronaut who commanded the ISS on some expeditions, was a very special event. No empty seat was left. However, I did not expect the roaring applause and standing ovation when he went on stage. Honestly, I thought his speech was not that overwhelming because I personally would have loved to hear more details about his expeditions and research. But he definitely has high potential for being a child's or student's role model. He is motivating young people with his non-stereotypical story of a child with a dream and of an average student becoming an acclaimed scientist, who reached up to the orbits by means of ambition and belief. By motivating us to follow and believe in our dreams, however unlikely they may be, and having the privilege to look from a far distance to our small planet and remembering us how much mankind will be able to achieve, if we work together and not always compete, by that he proofs his leadership qualities.
