Don Ward - Shoe Shine Boy
Thanks to Forbidden Knowledge TV
Don't be deceived by his avocation.
Don Ward probably has more integrity
and spiritual insight than anyone on
Wall Street.
Of course he's been aware, his whole
life, that being a "shoe-shine boy" was
not exactly aspirational, in the eyes of
many - likely including his own family.
Moreover, his very job description was
used as a pejorative term by whites to
intimidate blacks (who did not shine
shoes for a living) throughout the 20th
century and earlier, to put blacks back
"in their place".
But after years of culinary school, where Don Ward mastered the art of being a
pastry chef - he realized it just wasn't him.
Then he had the bravery to be true to himself and recognize that he had to live
HIS life - not somebody else's idea of what his life should be.
So, he went back to shining shoes on 6th Avenue and 47th Street in Manhattan.
And this man is happy and fulfilled, doing a job that he loves - which is so evident,
in the way that he commands the block, selling his services to the hurried, tough
New Yorkers, power-walking past him.
You can see, that at the very core of his work is just pure love - and how he wouldn't
have it any other way - and the customers keep on coming.
In his words, "I guess, till I leave this Earth, I'll always be pushing for better and not
worrying about how someone else perceives life should be. I'm gonna be me. That's it.
However you react and respond to it, is your business."
Please, please watch this to the end. This man has a lot to teach us all.
