FINISH STRONG!
Finishing Strong...
After watching a very touching video named Finish Strong, I have learnt some values from it...
I taught me to work hard for your dreams and achieve it, but first you have to have a dream, if not there's nothing to push you forward. Next, I have learnt that there are people who are less fortunate then us and that we shouldn't complain on what we have now and today.
The people featured in the video finished strong all because they have a goal, a dream, which they are dying to achieve. They don't look at themselves as disabled, stupid or retarded! They know that if they try harder, they could be just like us. They are the type of people we should all look up to! Because moving on and staying strong, keeps us alive! ;)
Albert Einstein for one, he really could not speak very well until the age of three, he had a very difficult time doing maths in school and it's hard for him to express himself through writing. But in the end, you can see, he have become a famous scientist ever!
Christoper Reeves is another one, became crippled after a horse-riding injury. He wants to be up on his feet & wants to help others stand confident too no matter what happens to them. His life is now dedicated to harnessing the power of medical research to get up and ride again.
Thomas Edison for another had a learning disability. He couldn't read until he was 12 and had a very difficult time writing even when he was older.
Helen Keller was another ! She was BLIND, DEAF and MUTE! She is remembered as an advocate for people with disabilities amid numerous other causes.
Robin Williams as a famous Hollywood star, suffers from Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) as a child. He never refuses a role related to medicine.
Tom Cruise, surprisingly is severely dyslexic! I didn't know that!
Stephen Hawkings is my FAVORITE! He's a mathematician that has Lou Gehrigs Disease and is in a wheelchair. He needs a computer to speak! He's still my best! ;)
So now knowing all those people as mentioned above, have problems but are doing well, we must learn that we are lucky to be healthy, without diseases and problems like them and that we shouldn't be complacent on what we have now. It's not going to o any good to anyone! So, everyone, have problems or not, FINISH STRONG!
Adios Amigos! ;)
