Life is life. Life is an interesting journey of ups and downs. But how that journey ends is up to you today. You see, when you fall down, you feel like giving up. When times get tough, its not the end. The question is, “Are you going to finish strong?” The definition of a disability is something that will hinder you from being able to do something.
I think, though, the greatest disability is not having no arms and no legs. The greatest disability is your mind, the choices that you make. The question is, “Are you going to make the right choices?” “Are you going to make the choice, to have your life in its right perspective?” “ Are you going to make the choice, to get up instead of giving up?” “Are you going to make the choice, to dream big?”
There is no greater disability that we have in our life than to make the decision to give up. Because once you give up, then there is no hope. But until you give up, there is that hope. My passion is to encourage people, to inspire people to be all that they can be. I have found my purpose. I have found my strength and I want you to find yours. Dont be afraid of failing. Every time you fall down, every time you fail, you learn something new.
Youre ready for the next one. Youve learned how not to do something. Well then, learn from it and move on! Leave whats behind and press forward. You can only win, if you dont give up. Go for it. Dont let anything hold you back! If nothing is holding me back, whats holding you back?
No goal is too big. No dream is too far fetched. Its as big as you can dream it. There are times in life, when you dont see the purpose or the good in your situation. But just because you cant see it, it doesnt mean its not coming. Who goes to the train station, looks down the railway, and says “The train is not here. Im leaving”? You will wait for the train! Why? Because the schedule says that the train is coming. So just because you cant see the hope in your situation, it doesnt mean that its not there. You see, many people think that I have only one foot, just because you cant see the other one. Ive gone from a life without limbs into a life without limits. What about you?
生命就是生命。生命是一場充滿高低起伏的奇妙旅程。但這旅程如何結(jié)束,只取決于你。你瞧,當(dāng)你跌倒時(shí),你想要放棄。當(dāng)你身處窘境,但這卻不是終點(diǎn)。問題在于,你是否能堅(jiān)持不懈。對(duì)“殘障”的定義會(huì)妨礙你去做你能做的事情。
我認(rèn)為最大的殘障,不是沒有四肢,而是你的思維和你所做出的選擇。問題在于,你是否會(huì)做出正確的選擇,你是否會(huì)選擇用正確的眼光看待生命,你是否會(huì)選擇站起來而并非放棄,你是否會(huì)選擇遠(yuǎn)大的夢想。
人生最大的殘障,莫過于決定放棄。當(dāng)你一旦放棄,便再?zèng)]有希望。但只要不放棄,那仍有希望。我的激情是鼓勵(lì)人們,啟發(fā)他們活出所有潛能。我已找到我的目標(biāo)。我已找到我的力量。我希望你也能找得到。不要害怕失敗。每次跌倒,每次失敗,你都會(huì)有新的體會(huì)。
準(zhǔn)備接受下一個(gè)挑戰(zhàn),你學(xué)會(huì)不再重蹈覆轍,而是繼續(xù)前進(jìn)!忘卻背后,盡力眼前。只要不放棄,便一定會(huì)勝利。勇往直前,不要卻步!假如沒有什么事能令我卻步,那還有什么能讓你卻步呢?
沒有什么目標(biāo)是太難達(dá)成的,沒有什么夢想是遙不可及的。你能夢想多大,它就有多大。生活中很多時(shí)候,你看不到事情中好的、有意義的一面。因此縱然你看不見,但并不表示它不會(huì)出現(xiàn)。誰會(huì)走到火車站,看著鐵軌,就說“這里沒火車,我要走了”?你會(huì)等火車來的!為什么?因?yàn)檐嚦瘫碚f火車會(huì)來。因此縱然你在逆境中看不見希望,但并不表示它不存在。你瞧,許多人認(rèn)為我只有一只腳,只是因?yàn)槟憧床灰娏硗庖恢?。我出生就沒有四肢,但卻過著不設(shè)限的人生。那么你呢?
