If the Dream is Big Enough…the Facts Don’t Count
A lot of people have a dream as a child of growing up to be a doctor.
Most people never realize that dream — many of them because they allow their circumstances to get in the way of the dream.
Kellie Lim was one who didn’t, even though she had plenty of “circumstances” in her life. At eight years old she became a triple amputee with an 85% chance of dying in the next few months.
What’s happened over the past 18 years is the stuff that dreams (and movies) are made of. Just ask Dr. Kellie Lim who just graduated from UCLA with her medical degree.
You can find the whole story (and a few more surprises) here…
Stumble it!

I agree. When we set our goals, we should be determined in doing it. If we let our concerns and worries cloud our plans, then it will slowly fade away until we realize that we forgot about it.

Kellie Lim is certainly a great example to all of us. Disabilities and ailments shouldn’t be a hindrance to our success. If we set our goals, we must be willing and ready to do it.

This is really inspiring. l certainly agree with Dave, disabilities and ailment shouldn’t be a hindgrance to our success. Infact is should rather be the motivating factor to our dreams because it is only when we accomplish our dreams that we’ll have a story to tell. l’m highly inspired
