An article with the same title as above was printed in today's Times of India. I am quoting a part of the text here:
"The chief technology officer of Tata Steel, a person with multiple sclerosis who uses a wheelchair, has even the South American coal authorities turning to him for advice on the future of coke-making in Colombia. The advisory systems consultant of IBM Global Services India, who is visually impaired, is a member of a 4-member IBM world-wide team and the first blind IBMer to achieve IT specialist certification. The assistant director of filmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali is the "anchor on the sets" of his films.
People with disabilities are busy conquering new frontiers everyday. Every sphere they break into, they instantly win accolades and ardent supporters with their competance, professionalism and dedication, changing the way entire sectors look at people with disabilities."
Such people are living examples of the fact that how our life turns out depends up on what we make out of it.
In my class XIIth English textbook there was a story. It began with a blind beggar recounting to a rich businessman how he lost his eyesight when he was trampled in a stampede as someone from behind pulled him down in order to reach the exit first. The beggar was hoping that on hearing his account this rich man would take pity on him and give him some money so that he could survive another day. But what happened next was something unbelievable.
It turns out that this "rich businessman" was also visually impaired and the tale that the blind beggar had been narrarting in truth took place the other way round. It was the beggar who had pulled down the man in front of him and the man in front of him was none other than this businessman.
What makes this story extraordinary is that the stampede had occured in a mill where at that time both the beggar and the businessman were employed as labourers. Facing the same circumstances while one man chooses to use his disability as a means for generating sympathy for himself, another one chooses to succeed in life going on to prove that he is simply differently enabled.
Summing up... it really is on us to let a hurdle remain a hurdle or to jump over it and move ahead in life.
