Adversity University is an inspirational blog by Steven Hopson. I had an opportunity to meet him one year at a National Speakers Association annual conference Steven is deaf and a pilot!

He sent me an email with a special request which is listed below. This is my way of telling you about his site as well as helping to spread his request to others.

Hi everyone!

You are a subscriber to my blog, Adversity University, and I am asking if you would do me a huge, special favor?

You’ve seen the videos at my blog, right?

And I think you already know that I entered a video competition. Well, today (Tuesday, February 26) is the last day of that contest. Competition is pretty fierce with other videos already over 2,000 views. Mine is up to about 1800 at this point.

I have a chance of winning if I end up with the most number of views. If I win, I get the sorely needed help to create a best-selling book (the manuscript is still sitting on the floor, not going anywhere at the moment).

Right now I’m the underdog in this competition and I need your help by asking you to just click on the link below and watch the 2 minute video. Your view counts as a vote. Then ask your entire network of contacts to watch that video too.

Would you do that for me?

I would really, really appreciate it. I’m taking the “power of asking” to a new level and hope and pray that you will forward the link to everyone you know.

I, of course, will be announcing the results in a future blog post at Adversity University.

Here’s the link:

I am eternally grateful for your continuing love and support. This is a very special situation and I hope you don’t mind me asking you for help.

Stephen Hopson
