It seems some stories will always maintain their place in the public consciousness, and Michael Oher’s is one of them.
Now, thanks to Oher’s foundation, many young people will have what Oher didn’t have: a mentor who encourages them to chase greatness and lets them know how you do it. If you want to chase greatness, Oher contends, consider doing the following, whether you’re aiming at distinguishing yourself in athletics, education, business, medicine or any other field:What do you see? “If you're not accomplishing things you want to, all the answers are there for you in that mirror,” he said.
There are many ways in which ex-Super Bowl champions can use their celebrity as a platform for success later in life. Oher has decided to use his platform to make an impact on a generation of young people who don’t have anyone to turn to for wisdom borne of experience. And he’s not just thinking of the future Super Bowl winning athletes like him.
“Not everyone is going to be able to play sports or become famous entertainers,” he said. “Most of the people who will benefit from mentoring just need the opportunity to be able to use their brains for bigger and better things. That’s the platform I want to stand on.”
