Title: The opportunity of adversity
Post by: Tyler on February 25, 2010, 03:55:56 PM

Guys, please take some time to watch the video I posted on the blog.  I believe every parent, teacher, coach, and boss should watch a video like this one.

Here's the link - http://www.slybaldguys.com/serendipity/archives/260-Aimee-Mullins-speech-The-Opportunity-of-Adversity.html

I love the title of this thread!

Adversity indeed builds strength. When you are challenged, as in times of adversity, that's when you can learn the most about yourself and what kind of person you are.
My greatest lessons in life have been from the worst times.

VERY INSPIRING!!  I love stuff like that!!

I will say that when you think of those thesaurus synonyms for "disabled," and apply them to, say, a disabled vehicle, they are more accurate and fitting........less offensive than if you apply them stictly to a person with a "disability."
