Don't let a disability stop you....
 
I was just surfing around (looking for something else!), and stumbled on this page....

It's a list of famous people with disabilities.... From things like Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), Dyslexia, or Mood Disorders, to physical disabilities....

For example, did you know that Eleanor Roosevelt, Henry Ford, and Benjamin Franklin all had ADD? (Gordon has mentioned here in the past that he also has ADD.)

Or that Leonardo da Vinci, Whoopi Goldberg, and Richard Branson are (or were) all dyslexic?

And there are many others who have overcome any limitations they may have (and in some cases, these actually help them with what they've achieved!).

I think the "lesson" from this is.... try not to let your situation (whatever it may be) stop you! If these others can do it, why not you? Learn from their examples....

At least that's the general principle I live my life by. :)

(I've linked to the web page below....)
