He "drives" his wheelchair to work everyday

How sad that this person has to be in this condition. I have to say that just yesterday Saturday I learned something new here on myLot about a member who he and I and so many of us interact on a daily basis for several months. Yesterday he started a discussion about how we handle with blind people. He uploaded a personal you tube video for us to view, along with pictures and an internet article to show to us that he is actually blind. I was so amazed by this information I learned as not in a million years could I have guessed. Apparently from the article it shows that he has special equipment that he uses to be able to work online. This was an eye opener for me my friend as although so many of us on a daily basis have trials and issues we simply do not understand that they are truly not as much as the one you mentioned and this myLot member.

If he is to serve as a warning to others, then perhaps he did something that was not suppose to be done that is why he is now stuck in a wheelchair. I think it is something that is connected to his past, maybe he got into an accident while driving drunk or driving to fast or something like that. I think it would be good to actually ask him what he meant by that statement. But I do admire his determination to continue on with his life despite of what happened to him

This is sad :( Yea for me, I've seen a video some time ago, which is about a 20 something year old man. He has no limbs and has difficulty going out. But, he somehow is successful in his career. I can't remember exactly but I know some bits here and there. He was giving a talk on determination. He was telling a story and then he demonstrated himself falling down. Well, people would say, how will he ever manage to climb back up, when he has no limbs? To your surprise, he managed to climb back up and he told the audience that, if I can do it, why can't you? His story has touched many of the people down there and around the world. After this talk, almost all the people cried and hugged him after this talk.

He is an inspiration to many! I see too many people by me with their hand outstretched asking for money. I work 3 jobs to keep my family going. If I can do it - then anyone can do it. Kudos to him for his determination!

Hi blue! Perhaps he's trying to remind us how grateful we should be for being able to use our legs. Touching sentence. But more touching is how he moves around and he is just as determined and full of perseverance.

while reading it i cone to remember a person i come across in you tube.the video is entitled "man without limbs"im crying while viewing it.i feel so overwhelmed to see those person who is determined to live their lives inspite of their incapabilities.if these person can do it, why should we normal people lose hope?we cant afford to give up in life if we only come to see the point why they are trying.my heart goes with them.suddenly to see them we maybe able to realize how great we are to be normal and have a strong body but how pitiful of us be pessimistic and having a weak heart on simple things and failures....

oh!! i would really be inspired by this. You know i was too in a situation like this. I was riding the mrt train and there comes a group of disabled people and they were in their wheelchair since there was a space between the platform and the train, i offered to help her and she told me she can do it already. She did! and as if she was on her foot stepping in on the train! :D It was inspiring that she and her companions are living the normal life and she has a smile on her face that she has a happy life - and a complete one. So i felt guilty that i was even complaining about my body!

mmmm.. pr0bably tat person met an accident that cause him to use that chair. probably, before the accident he was a bike driver or a wild person who do drink n' drive.. so that might be the reason why that statement is on his chair. probably. . . so yes, that statement is touchy, we should always becareful and always, always thank the man above for all our blessings and the blessings that we never thought of having! have a great week! and God bless!c".)

hi bluemoonpavilion yes there is a lady here who is wheelchair bound but she is always so up and makes jokes and even plays bingo with the rest of us.she never seems down but is full of fun and often has cheered me up when I felt a bit down. I admire the way she looks at her disability and I try to be more positive about my own handicap because while I wear a heavy brace on my left shoe, I can still walk'and get around and do for myself.so I may stump along with my quad cane but I am not so bad off after all.I loved that sentence. it makes me think. she always has a smile and a kind word. I do respect her greatly.

I feel badly for someone who has diabilities. Life is hard enough without extra obstacles in your way. I have to give praise to someone who would drive his wheelchair to work. he doesn't let his diabilities get him down.

That is a great statement. I know I would be appreciative if I could also be a reminder for others. If I could help save some people not to make a few mistakes in life then that could make my own life be meaningful.

I think his sign is meant to get people thinking that they should take care of themselves so they don't suffer the same consequences he is suffering. Perhaps it gives him peace to think that he may save some person from his fate.

Yes, disabled people are ridiculously perseverant. Each one seems to push for normalcy. I have gone out of my way to help the disabled, the elderly and children. Not enough do. My children also have learned to help those people as well. We could, ourselves be disabled and will be elderly. We all remember our childhood. My son wonders if this man is looking for conversation about how he ended up in a wheelchair. My son is guessing it was a car accident or something. If I saw that sign I'd be asking.

In our place, there is this institution for those in wheelchairs. I am very inspired by those people because even though they are handicapped, they can do what we can. They can play basketball, work as if that they don't have their wheels on. They are very inspiring, and full of hope. This people also remind us that we are all blessed and lucky to have our both feet move freely.

Hm, I wonder. Do you suppose it is intended to teach us about determination and perseverance, or was it meant as a warning not to do whatever it was that ended him up in a wheelchair?

How sad. Because I am really sad about this person after hearing about this. But I think this person have great self confidence so he doing every work through his wheelchair. I there are many fewer person who have really a great self confidence. And they never think about handicapped and always doing hard working. I salute them.

yeah these words talks a lot for other who watches , these are the warnings which he wants to express , some times when people met with a accident , he do want others to aware of this so that others wont affected , many does this things , eg a level crossing accident occurs , if some affected by that , would convey this message like some or the other way
