Remember the Great

Don’t ever feel sorry for anyone with a disability because they are probably talented in ways you could never even think of. A champion of a person who fought a debilitating disease was recently deceased Stephen Hawkins. Even when his condition made him fail to speak, he said profound thoughtful things. With the aid of advancements in science and technology for the handicapped, the world was able to hear and read every educated thought in his head. We thank the technology and most of all we need to thank him.  Besides all his scientific theories he said: ”Life would be tragic if it weren’t funny.

Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change.

Remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet.

Never give up work. Work gives you meaning and purpose and life is empty without it.

 If you are lucky enough to find love, remember it is there and don’t throw it away.

Concentrate on things your disability doesn’t prevent you doing well and don’t regret the things it interferes with. Don’t be disabled in spirit, as well physically.

People won’t have time for you if you are always angry and complaining.

People who boast about their I.Q. are losers.

Next time someone complains you have made a mistake, tell him that may be a good thing. Because without imperfection neither   you or I would exist.

However bad life may seem, there is always something you can do, and succeed at. While there’s life, there is hope.

Steven Hawking was born in 1942 and became a famous physicist and author. Now he is dead at the age of 76 and lived many years later than he was supposed to live considering his serious disability. He is the most famous scientist since Einstein proving that the mind can survive a failing body. He was diagnosed with ALS at age 21 and was expected like most people with the serious disease to live just 2 years. The famous ice bucket challenge was done to help find a cure for ALS.

Steven explored the universe from a wheelchair speaking through an electronic device instructed by just one eyeball. Hawkins work on Black Holes and Relativity proved a turning point in modern Physics. He became famous after writing his book called A Brief History of Time where he explored from the big bang to black holes. He never let his disability hold him back. He did it all. He met Presidents, flew in hot air balloons and even floated in a space ship. Somehow he managed to live a life as vibrant as his mind. He died at his home in England. We need to remember the great people like him and forget the foolish.
