Overcoming Deficiency

About this video:
I watched this It’s Not Fair Having 12 Pairs Of Legs video at a TEDxAkron event (held at Akron University on 10-26-12) and was mesmerized by Aimee Mullins’ ability to “Overcome Deficiency”.
.
Here are some of my favorite thoughts she shares in this video:
.
“My legs could be wearable sculpture”
“Provoke the senses. Ignite the imagination”
“Change the conversation to one about Potential”
“We have the power to create whatever we want to create. Design yourself from a place of empowerment”
“Celebrate our disabilities and our heartbreaks…they make us beautiful.”  .

One reviewer wrote,
She makes it clear that with enough attitude, you could pull off anything.
.
What an incredible woman! A true master of illustrating potential. She made me question my own “disabilities”, and in doing so, made me feel like a superhero.

Here’s another video I really enjoyed that was shown at TEDxAkron.  It’s about a completely color blind man who Overcomes Deficiency by finding a very creative way to live in color…
