Disabled
people changed the alphabet of the universe ... foreigners
despite their disability have done the impossible!
Back to 2011, in the
first report about disability, Stephen Hawking wrote “Disability need not be an
obstacle to success,”. Most of us keep making excuses despite being physically
fit. But on the other side, there are the so-called disabled people or let us
say the differently-abled people. These people prove from one day to
another that there are no limits to succeed and you just need a willpower to do
anything. Mahatma Gandhi said "Strength does not come from physical
capacity. It comes from an indomitable will". Here are some people who not
only have done the impossible despite their disability! but also achieved goals
which are difficult to be achieved even by a lot of normal people.
