many physically challenged are able to overcome all odds in order to prove that they can equally capable as the rest of us in the society.
“When there is a will, there

what they need is a chance.

BTW,can't stop myself from looking at Nick Vujicic's photo..
at just 6 months old
I found this photo from here. This website come with come information about him as well, head on to reading =)
Jessica Cox without arm got her pilot licence....
again, there is a will, there is a way, an armless girl can get a pilot licence, what's more can be defeat?!
The point is
never give up
strengthen your will
Just imagine if Nick Vujicic without hands and legs keep comparing himself with others......he won't achieve anything!
Sometimes, I need we just no need to bother how others think of us,well its natural habit that people tend compare between similar people, but don't you think you would live far more better without comparing with other people in negative ways??
Hence, don't always compare between people, cause everyone of us is unique, and well I think I am unique, because my mindset is always different from others.....Well, why do I need to think the same with the majority, my decision won't harm others too~~
This is such an inspirational post! I love Nick's story too. Makes me think that if he can do it we can too - and that success or failure in in our mind and in our hopes. Thanks for reminding me about Nick. Did you know he was/ is doing some seminars in Malaysia? He has also written a children's book about reaching for your dreams despite the odds.
