Turning Limitations into strengths !TOPIC:everyone has limitations and handicaps. The fact that they have them is unimportant. How you respond to them is important. Many suppress them, hide them, run away from them, or let their weakness control and limit their lives. Others have achieved greatness because of the way they have responded to their limitations or handicaps> Socrates was bald,short,fat, deformed, and ugly, responded to his appearance by becoming historys most famous philosopher he then said know thyself; one you come face to face with yourself and what you really are, you can exaggerate your handicaps to a point of ridiculousness. Then after they are over exposed and you return to your normal behavior they seem insignificant.Helen Killer, blind and deaf, said.i thank God for my handicaps! Norman Vincent Peale, as a young man, was so self-conscious and togue-tied he was afraid to recite in classes; he said it was his response to this weakness that made him one of Americas great preachers. He did not allow the handicap control him. He faced it as a challenge,did something about it, and grew strong as a result. When has anything worthwhile been attained except by OVERCOMING OBSTACLES.William E Henley; facing your limitations and handicaps can be the very nourishment that builds your personal effectiveness and confidence. He has suffered operation after operation, had one foot amputated because of tuberculosis of the bone, and at one time was told that he had only short time to live. but he lived another 30 years like my late papa he said they think i will lye down forever;he will forcefully get up and stand . The reason William E Henley composed it on his hospital bed: it matters not how strait the gate; how charged with punishments the scroll; i am the master of my fate; i am the captain of my soul.
