If you know guitars, you'll know who Les Paul is. For those who don't know, Les Paul is an accomplished American jazz guitarist and one of the pioneers of the solid body electric guitar. What do Paul Mcartney, The Rolling Stones and Bob Marley have in common? You got it, at one point they all played a Les Paul guitar. Bob Marley's Les Paul custom is actually buried with him in his mausoleum. Here's another interesting fact about Les Paul. In 1948 during a road trip Les Paul was in a major car accident. Paul suffered severely broken bones, his right elbow was essentially destroyed, and doctors were seriously considering amputating the arm. Les Paul refused to let the operation be performed; when his elbow had to be fused into an immobile solid mass, Paul directed his surgeons to place it at a roughly 90 degree angle, to facilitate his guitar playing. Sure, Les Paul could of picked up another instrument or another hobby with the use of only one arm but it wouldn't of been him. Sacrificing the mobility of his arm was small price to pay in comparison to sacrificing who Les Paul was destined to become.

What are you willing to sacrifice to become all that you are supposed to be; To do what you were destined to do?
