Overview

We have been brainwashed that people living with disability are liabilities to the society. The society perceives them as low-class citizens that need assistance to survive. Thus they have been neglected and discriminated. This wrong perception of the society has also affected the ego of people living with disability. We see ourselves as disadvantaged citizens that will ever be pitied. Thus, most of us become beggars because we have lost our purpose of existence. They fail to understand that physical challenge is not purpose disability. We fail to understand that you don't need all of your body to be successful. Just an exceptional part of your body can distinguish you. If we know that focusing on the disability of a part of the body, leads to disability of the whole body, we would appreciate ourselves.This book contains true stories of renowned celebrities living with disabilities.
