Not everyone can Walk
See
Hear
or Talk.
It is amazing how Far they can go,
how much Vision they have with no sight
how much they Listen to
and how well they Communicate.
Maybe those of us who can Walk
See
Hear
and Talk
should pay more attention to
whom we are Walking ON,
how we Look at people and situations
what and who we Listen to
and how we talk About others.
What do you think?

Hi John
I could not agree with you more.
If I may, could I reinforce your comment as follows:
Statistics show that percentage wise of all the disabled those that say I CAN, do,is a large percentage – They cope and that are prepared to look within, and deeply also, and find ways to accomplish great feats.
However percentage wise of all the non dis-advantaged people say I Can and Do is a very small percentage, so if we convert this to actual numbers of people then the disabled score hands down as they are prepared to do all the things John mentions like have vision, and listen etc. However the non-disadvantage in general, do the opposite and do nothing and complain at the same time, and so really accomplish only the mundane and so we able bodied people can take a huge lesson from these facts.
I recall a very wise man, whose name eludes me at the moment, who said “Look to the ants thou sluggards, and see they ways and be wise.”
Ants accomplish things, that if we take the time to look, really amaze us in their smallness.
My best regards

John, applying the five senses is much more needed now than ever. It is a simple approach yet difficult to so many.
