CIO News Managing Editor Mousmi Naidu wrote:

“We all aspire for success in various forms, but what exactly is it? Many definitions exist today, but there’s a common thread that most people agree on: success emerges when one perseveres through failures while pursuing a worthwhile goal. If you’re seeking an inspiring tale of someone who defied the odds, Dr. Patricia Ramsey is a prime example. … She wants everyone to believe that accomplishing the ‘impossible’ is attainable, even when faced with failures, setbacks, and challenges.”
