8 Rousing Stories Of In an unexpected way Abled Individuals That Demonstrate Inconceivable Is Nothing


"Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will." -Mahatma Gandhi. Most of us take our lives for granted. Despite being physically fit, we keep complaining and making excuses. And here they are - the so-called differently-abled people, who prove that you don't need two hands, legs or eyes to succeed. All you need is willpower and determination. Here are 8 people who not only overcame their physical handicaps, but also achieved goals which even able-bodied people would find difficult to:



1. Major Devender Pal, India's blade runner

Meet India's blade runner, Major Devender Pal. Despite losing his right leg to a Pakistani mortar during the Kargil War, Pal challenges himself each passing day, making his disability his strength. His determination to do something different and his never-say-die attitude has seen him become India's first blade runner. His passion for running has seen him participate in 9 marathons. After he ran three half marathons with a normal walking leg successfully, the army came to his rescue and gave him an Ireland-made prosthesis which costs about Rs 4.5 lakh. You are truly an inspiration, sir!

2. Sharath Gayakwad, Paralympic swimmer

Being born with a deformed left hand did not deter this starry-eyed kid who started taking swimming lessons when he was just 9. Sharath recently created history by winning 6 medals at the Para Incheon Asian Games 2014. With this, he broke the legendary PT Usha's 28-year-old record at the Asian Games. Not only this, he also has over 30 international and 40 national medals to his name. He was also the first Indian to qualify for the London Olympics for the disabled in 2010. Kudos to you, Sharath!
