He Was born Prematurely
He survived, when his twin sister expired
He is mentally Challenged
He is Blind
He is a Musical Genius
He is Derek Paravicini
Born to Ms. Mary Ann Hanbury, Derk lived in Redhill College for the Blind, where he did not discern or know even to cloth or feed himself. Now at the age of 26 years, he has an I.Q of a 4 year old. But something that made him extraordinarily Unique was his brain. With His ability of hearing, processing, and creating music, he can tell apart every note of the chord and play it back. Yahoo calls him the “Living ipod” . University of Cambridge observes "Most highly-trained musicians would not be able to do this. They might recognize the top note and the bottom note." His love for music and heavenly gift to replay the thousands of songs (after hearing them just once or twice), continues to thrill his audience via concerts. – (Courtesy: web)
Helen Keller although deaf/ dumb, was an author who campaigned for Women suffering, Worker rights and socialism. Steven Hawking, paralyzed in his wheel chair gave us Theories on quantum Gravity and cosmology. Loyld Bachrach disabled since birth, triumphantly went to win 25 gold, 27 silver, and 20 bronze medals in various competitions. Anne Frank, while still in childhood Surviving the war of Nazis, wrote a Diray which later became one of the world's mostly read books.
Majority of us in the present century, with all the gifts of technology, science and education, have settled jobs that will provide just for the living. Daring not to venture man’s innate potentials, I choose to live at ease within the comfort zone of my family, my job and my friends. In fearing the misfortune, I choose to curtail the risk by choosing to stay with my fixed monthly pay check. May be there is a need for me, a physically and mentally fit creation, to draw inspiration from my disabled fellows, who have mounted to the peaks using the limited resources that was available to them.
Reminds me someone who with His Absurd decisions, Thoughts and Talks, introduced me to the world of Leaders/Philosophy. At the age of 31 while is friends choose to settle for wife, kids and a 5 digit salary (mundane problems), he choose to invest a major sum of whatever he earned to pursue management studies in one of India’s top Business Schools. Easily said than done, I salute to the spirit this risk taker who seems to be quiet determined in realizing his entrepreneurial dreams over his personal life.
Sky is the limit when we with six senses dare to dream BIG. With passion and focus to fuel, Man can attain the unfeasible. For it isn’t about winning but the spirit of trying that matters. "trying" when replicated, will soon translate to SUCCESS.
