'Why I Love Obama's Shoes'

There’s some great photo journalism in today’s Observer newspaper; photographs of Barack Obama by Callie Shell, who followed him through the election campaign.

The photograph above was taken by Callie Shell on March 1st last year and I love it.

It says so much. But it also says something very simple to me:

IF YOU WANT TO BE A SUCCESS IN ANYTHING YOU DO, YOU HAVE TO WORK BLOODY HARD

(And that means you might wear your shoes out a few times pounding the streets)
