This dude got in an accident.
"For the past thirty-five years, Moki has been in a wheelchair. In all those years, I never heard him complain about his misfortune in life. Never once did I hear him ask, "Why me?". Never once did he display an ounce of pity for himself.
In fact, after his incident, Moki went on to be an accomplished painter. He fathered a beautiful young girl. He founded and continues to oversee the Super Frog Triathlon that is held every year in Coronado.
It is easy to blame your lot in life on some outside force, to stop trying because you believe fate is against you. It is easy to think that where you were raise, how your parents treated you, or what you school you went to is all that determines your future. Nothing could be further from the truth. The common people and the great men and women are all defined by how they deal with life's unfairness.
Sometimes no matter how hard you try, no matter how good you are, you still end up as a sugar cookie (a reference to earlier in the book). Don't complain. Don't blame it on your misfortune. Stand tall, look to the future, and drive on!"
The above is a passage from the book Make Your Bed, by Admiral William H. McRaven.
Cheers.
