An example to follow

Nicaraguan singer Tony Meléndez was born without arms because of a medication that was given to his mother while she was pregnant.

His testimony: "Don't ever give up. Don't say you can't, because you can".

It's amazing to witness such a strong spirit. He's so humble and patient... such an optimist.

I keep thinking about him. He was born different (and we all know how that goes), with many limitations (many of which he managed to overcome) and in need of help. He doesn't seem to have a drop of bitterness in him, in spite of it all. He seems to be so happy. He really inspires me!

What I find most impressive of it all is that a person who could understandably be constantly asking for help is the one who keeps trying to help others, giving help, instead of asking for it, spreading a message of hope.

I think disabled people are always stronger then simple people.

Ironic, but true. It's like they can appreciate life better because of their limitations, and those limitations make them develop other capacities outstandingly.
