Running away from a problem is also a problem. Life is about facing the problem, naming it and resynthesising who we are. Just look to Diana Golden, who at the age 12, got affected with bone cancer and lost her right leg.
But she was the one who could fly 65 miles an hour on one leg. She was the one who mounted the podium at the Olympics to claim gold medal and become the poster girl of the handicapped athletics movement. By the time she retired, she won 19 US and 10 world disabled gold medals, and had been honored as one of the greatest athletics – yes, not as disable athletics ... athletics.
It’s all because Diana Golden always used to believe, “Disability isn’t physical, it’s mental.” She believed -- as God has put her into this world, it’s her responsibility to prove how worthy she was. Losing a leg? Nothing, because she never lost her will to dream.

I wish i and many more like me cud find our dream first!!!
Thought provoking Roy!
@ DivKiran – You know we don’t need to find our dream – it’s already there, we need to recognize it.
@ Astuti – The best way to stir our thought is to share each other’s story. And you know, we all have story.
Cheers
Roy
