Get busy living or get busy dying.
That's Darryl Sabin's new motto.
The 22-year-old Northlander has had a taste of both. Four years ago, doctors declared him on his death bed after a serious head injury during a rugby game.
But he defied the odds - learning how to walk, talk, move his limbs and eat again. Now his goal is to inspire others, which he plans to do with his new motivational-speaking business. "My hope is that you will see your life in a different light and learn how to react to life," Darryl said.
His business is called 10Ninety after the rule that "life is 10 per cent what happens to you and 90 per cent how you react to it". "Your goal determines your outcome. Aim at nothing and that's what you will get. Get busy living or get busy dying," Darryl told the Northern Advocate.
