Just had the priviledge of seeing Daniel Dias speaking at the Unimed annual convention and have to admit that was bowled over to see him and the other Olympic athletes telling their stories.
How often do we complain about out trivial problems and feel hard done by, dealt a bad hand by life/fate etc.
Then there is Daniel, born with 2 stumps instead of arms and just 1 leg, sitting there smiling away and proudly clutching 8 gold medals. He has 4 different world records and considers himself very lucky. Surely a lesson to us all, as my discussion group mentioned, you choose to be a victim or to drive your fate. His regret is that he can´t play the piano, although he gave us a great show of his drumming talent!
