"When I was seven years old ... the doctor had told my mother that it wasn’t worth spending a penny on my education because I was going to be blind anyway. But as my life went on to prove, it was not I who had limited vision, but he."
This is another look-how-disadvantaged-I-was-yet-I-made-it-so-big story. All about struggling against odds, being helped by close ones and strangers alike and finally attaining heights of success. Very typical.
You can chose to enjoy it, smile over it, even shed a tear - and then move on. Or you can use this spark to ignite the passion of being a contributor rather than merely a receiver.
If I may suggest, this time let us not do what's typical.
