As brave as Navin (Gulia) is.....I would like to introduce to you another guy who has fought against all odds and gone on to make a way for himself.
There is a young man, Bill Wineland, in my office who was born without arms (not even an inch of growth from his shoulders) and on top of that his one leg is shorter than the other.
Now read on and see for yourself how much self-determination, firmness of purpose and resolve this man has:
His work station in the office is just like that of anyone of us .....with no modifications at all.
-He answers the phone...holding it up between his chin and shoulder and taking/writing down messages with pen held between his toes.
-Works on the computer like a regular guy..... designing stuff using programs like AUTOCAD. He has put the keyboard on the floor.
-He can button up his shirt, zip his pants, comb his hair.
-He shaves his face with the razor held betwen his toes.
-He drinks coke from a can while holding the can betwen his teeth.
ARE YOU READY FOR THIS..........
-He has a regular driving license. YES.....with absolutely no modifications in his SUV. To top it all he can wave at you with one leg while controlling the steering wheel with the other.
He thinks the funniest part was being stopped on Interstate HIghway by a state trooper who thought this youg kid had gone crazy ..... cruising at 160 KMPH with both his feet on the steering wheel. The cop could not believe that a guy with no arms had a valid New jersey Driver's Licence. Although he was ticketed for overspeeding.
You name a thing and he can do it. He is AMAZING. Bill can inspire the meekest of all souls. THUMBS UP TO NAVIN AND BILL.
Don't they say - necessity is the mother of invention
