~Everyone Has Obstacles-Disabilities

Consider this: Albert Einstein did not speak until he was four years old and could not read until he was seven years old. Even as an adult Einstein found that searching for words was laborious. He found school work, especially math, difficult and was unable to express himself in written language.

He was thought to be simple minded (retarded), until it was realized that he was able to achieve by visualizing rather than by the use of language.

Thomas Edison’s teachers told him he was too stupid to learn anything.

Sir Isaac Newton did poorly in grade school. and was thought to have what we call today ADD.(Attention Deficit Disorder).

Around the age of twelve, Edison lost almost all his hearing. There are several theories as to what caused his hearing loss. Some attribute it to the aftereffects of scarlet fever which he had as a child. Others blame it on a conductor boxing his ears after Edison caused a fire in the baggage car, an incident which Edison claimed never happened.Edison himself blamed it on an incident in which he was grabbed by his ears and lifted to a train. He did not let his disability discourage him, however, and often treated it as an asset, since it made it easier for him to concentrate on his experiments and research.~ Don't let obstacles deter you. If you hit a wall, use your creativity and imagination to dissolve it.When Isaac Newton reached an impasse in his work because the existing mathematics were inadequate, he created calculus.All of us have some sort of obstacle or disability. How do you wish to use yours, as an asset or liability?
