In what ways, do people with disabilities inspire you?

They inspire me because they show me that no matter what, there is always hope - even in the darkest of times!

For the strength they have, for never giving up, for their determination and feedback and inovation and optimism. I sometimes felt I woukd only unleash my true potential if I were to become disabled.

I lived my whole life amongst disabled persons. One of my cousins was paralised from waist down from polio but she was always so smart and cheerful, intelligent and joking. Both my uncle and my aunt on my grandfather lefel were deaf and dumb and partially paralised. Both of tgem were so cherrful, spoke in sign language, me uncle kept carving despite his paralisys, they had a bulb instead of a doorbell, he invented a stick so he can light his cigarettes with only one hand. Both smoked. There was no aid, both of them took care of each other.

My list is very long, do not wish to bore you...I fet puny among disabled people and always wished some day I will get to be as strong as them...

They are normal people, just like anyone else, and when they show humanity they show me what others aspire to be, they tell us it and we who listen can understand, human communication doesn't limit to anyone, they show us this.

I know MANY people with disabilities, physical and mental. My best friend has a prosthetic leg, and the one thing I feel when I see him... How proud I am that he's made it this far without ever complaining. He inspires me and definitely inspirees others, he's aamzing.

The way they don't give up even after finding that others have an edge over them either in one or other way is what inspires me about them :)

They always try no matter what, it reminds me that there are people out there who are living life to the fullest even if they have something that tries to weigh them down and that I should too!

They inspire me to keep working at all th things I want to achieve . If they can work so hard to overcome obstacles then I can do it too.
