Animals with wheels...
I was watching Animal PLanet and came across this programme which showcases the innovations that have been made for animals with disabilities. Some dogs and cats have lost their ability of their legs due to accidents or other causes. But they still have the use of the other legs. Hence, the human being made wheels and attached them to the body of the animals. With the wheels attached, the animals could walk as if nothing had happened. THey moved on to perform critical roles for their owners or trusted loyal friends, I would say.
It is inspiring to learn that although the animals have lost perhaps part of the ability of their bodies, they moved on to conquer the challenges of life and make the very best out of every breath they take.
It then dawned on me that we have spent too much time pitying ourselves on what we do not have or what we have lost. We should instead move on and make the best of what life has given us. And I am documenting this down so that one day in the future, I could share this with my students to inspire them to overcome the challenges that they face. I hope that this can also serve as a reminder to myself when I meet with challenges in life.
Every breath we take is a gift. And we should make the best use of this gift to the best of our abilities for life is precious.
