This man opened my eyes on how lucky I am, and no matter what my circumstances are, that I should still try to do what I’ve always wanted in life. Even if I fail a few times it shouldn’t discourage me from trying again and again until till I reach my dreams. Thank you for the wonderful insight, I’m done being a victim of my own misery.

They say when you lose an organ other organs become strong. For him, losing almost all the functions of his body except his head, made his head the most strongest a human head ever can be. The picture that he painted (2:57) and the biography that he wrote using a pen in his mouth just shows how strong his brain had become. And with that came even more determination to survive, I guess. He chose to do something where I bet anyone else on this planet would give up long ago. But he is the one who stood out and became an example of perseverance and not to whine about your condition and instead deal with whatever you have and accomplish things that even "fit', "normal" humans even can't...

He is so inspiring, ever since I got diagnosed with type 2 diabetes I felt like it was contagious. No one wanted to hang out, never wanted to be friends. And every time I transferred to a new school everyone would stare at me for 1 minute and then whisper to their friend. I overheard some of the things they said, people would say "who's that fat pig?" Or "is she a real living cow?" I was so insecure about myself. Once I saw him he made me cry he made me think "maybe I can do anything they are just rude." Thank you Paul for being so inspiring!
