Yeah, and you think you have problems...Incredible guy!

A former neighbor of mine, who I've known since 1987, has underdeveloped arms and hands (think T Rex, useless arms) and he is the neatest, most upbeat guy. He eats, drives and brushes his teeth with his feet. And he surfs on a bodyboard. One of the nicest guys I know, and a huge inspiration. He's a full time math teacher in a middle school. He writes on the white board with his feet while sitting on a stool barefoot and wearing a Hawaiian shirt.

It's truly amazing what some people with major disabilities can accomplish on their own, not living off welfare, and not feeling sorry for themselves.

everyone should keep a picture of this guy and similar others in their heads for times when they start whining and feeling sorry for themselves.

Thanks for that link. Really makes life's inconveniences seem minuscule. Everyone could learn some very valuable lessons/values from him.
