Description

We have been brainwashed that people living with disability are liabilities to the society. The society perceives them as low-class citizens that need assistance to survive. Thus they have been neglected and discriminated. This wrong perception of the society has also affected the ego of people living with disability. We see ourselves as disadvantaged citizens that will ever be pitied. Thus, most of us become beggars because we have lost our purpose of existence. They fail to understand that physical challenge is not purpose disability. We fail to understand that you don't need all of your body to be successful. Just an exceptional part of your body can distinguish you. If we know that focusing on the disability of a part of the body, leads to disability of the whole body, we would appreciate ourselves.This book contains true stories of renowned celebrities living with disabilities. You will find how regardless of their challenged condition, endure the pains, pursued their purpose and became famous. You will find the stories of-Bible Namaan, a leper who because of his gallantry remained the commander of the Armed forces of Syria at a time when leprosy sufferers were often confined against their will in leper colonies or outside the city walls.-Cobhams Asuquo, who dropped out of school because he discovered that music was his pathway to the top. Today, regardless of his total blindness he signed on with Sony ATV London as a songwriter.-Mordecai "Three Finger" Peter Brown, who became one of the greatest baseball luminaries because through practice he exercised his crippled fingers to throw ball in radical manner that made it difficult for a batter to connect with his pitches.-Franklin D. Roosevelt, who at age 39, Roosevelt lost the use of both of his legs due to poliomyelitis. But became the President of the U.S. because he refused to relax in a comfort zone.-Helen Adams Keller was deaf, blind and had speech impediment. But, before her death in 1968, Miss Keller received honorary doctoral degrees from six world class universities and the Presidential Medal of Freedom (American's Highest Civilian Award)-Stephen Hawking, the doctors predicted two more years for him to live due to neuromuscular disease that weakens muscular strength and the nerves of the spinal cord. Instead of dying in self-pity he received a PhD from Cambridge at age 23.-Thomas Edison, who regardless of his deafness, Edison established himself as one of the most prolific inventors of all time. -Pope John Paul 11 endured Parkinson's disease to give hope and strength to the sick and the elderly. His burial was the largest single pilgrimage of Christianity ever.-Nick Vujicic, who no limb except a small foot on my left hip that has two toes, but has shared the message of hope to over 5 million people inspired across 44 countries.-Earvin "Magic" Johnson, rejected by the NBA world because he was HIV positive, but later purchased an NBA team. You don't need to face the same battles to achieve success; all you need is to learn the lessons of their stories in this book.
