Steve McGown talks on “Freedom is an Attitude” at the EO Melbourne learning event
"5 years & 8 months is a long time. I believe that I'm like any other person. I’m no different. We all have problems, and we shouldn’t judge one another, as we have different coping mechanisms and breaking points. I do, however, believe that our attitude separates us and determines how we cope. Some people give up too easily."
"If they are not going to kill me then I might as well use this time to go home a better person."
- Stephen "Steve" McGown
