Life is life. Life is an interesting journey of ups and downs. But how that journey ends is up to you today. You see， when you fall down， you feel like giving up. When times get tough， its not the end. The question is， “Are you going to finish strong？” The definition of a disability is something that will hinder you from being able to do something.

I think， though， the greatest disability is not having no arms and no legs. The greatest disability is your mind， the choices that you make. The question is， “Are you going to make the right choices？” “Are you going to make the choice， to have your life in its right perspective？” “ Are you going to make the choice， to get up instead of giving up？” “Are you going to make the choice， to dream big？”

There is no greater disability that we have in our life than to make the decision to give up. Because once you give up， then there is no hope. But until you give up， there is that hope. My passion is to encourage people， to inspire people to be all that they can be. I have found my purpose. I have found my strength and I want you to find yours. Dont be afraid of failing. Every time you fall down， every time you fail， you learn something new.

Youre ready for the next one. Youve learned how not to do something. Well then， learn from it and move on！ Leave whats behind and press forward. You can only win， if you dont give up. Go for it. Dont let anything hold you back！ If nothing is holding me back， whats holding you back？

No goal is too big. No dream is too far fetched. Its as big as you can dream it. There are times in life， when you dont see the purpose or the good in your situation. But just because you cant see it， it doesnt mean its not coming. Who goes to the train station， looks down the railway， and says “The train is not here. Im leaving”？ You will wait for the train！ Why？ Because the schedule says that the train is coming. So just because you cant see the hope in your situation， it doesnt mean that its not there. You see， many people think that I have only one foot， just because you cant see the other one. Ive gone from a life without limbs into a life without limits. What about you？

生命就是生命。生命是一場充满高低起伏的奇妙旅程。但这旅程如何结束，只取决于你。你瞧，当你跌倒时，你想要放弃。当你身处窘境，但这却不是终点。问题在于，你是否能坚持不懈。对“残障”的定义会妨碍你去做你能做的事情。

我认为最大的残障，不是没有四肢，而是你的思维和你所做出的选择。问题在于，你是否会做出正确的选择，你是否会选择用正确的眼光看待生命，你是否会选择站起来而并非放弃，你是否会选择远大的梦想。

人生最大的残障，莫过于决定放弃。当你一旦放弃，便再没有希望。但只要不放弃，那仍有希望。我的激情是鼓励人们，启发他们活出所有潜能。我已找到我的目标。我已找到我的力量。我希望你也能找得到。不要害怕失败。每次跌倒，每次失败，你都会有新的体会。

准备接受下一个挑战，你学会不再重蹈覆辙，而是继续前进！忘却背后，尽力眼前。只要不放弃，便一定会胜利。勇往直前，不要却步！假如没有什么事能令我却步，那还有什么能让你却步呢？

没有什么目标是太难达成的，没有什么梦想是遥不可及的。你能梦想多大，它就有多大。生活中很多时候，你看不到事情中好的、有意义的一面。因此纵然你看不见，但并不表示它不会出现。谁会走到火车站，看着铁轨，就说“这里没火车，我要走了”？你会等火车来的！为什么？因为车程表说火车会来。因此纵然你在逆境中看不见希望，但并不表示它不存在。你瞧，许多人认为我只有一只脚，只是因为你看不见另外一只。我出生就没有四肢，但却过着不设限的人生。那么你呢？
