About this video:
\nI watched this\u00a0It’s Not Fair Having 12 Pairs Of Legs<\/a><\/em> video at a TEDxAkron event (held at Akron University on 10-26-12) and was mesmerized by Aimee Mullins’ ability to “Overcome Deficiency”.
\n.<\/span>
\nHere are some of my favorite thoughts she shares in this video:
\n.<\/span>
\n“My legs could be wearable sculpture”
\n<\/em><\/span><\/strong>“Provoke the senses. Ignite the imagination”
\n<\/em><\/span><\/strong>“Change the conversation to one about Potential”
\n<\/em><\/span><\/strong>“We have the power to create whatever we want to create. Design yourself from a place of empowerment”
\n<\/em><\/span><\/strong>“Celebrate our disabilities and our heartbreaks…they make us beautiful.” \u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

One reviewer wrote,
\n“She makes it clear that with enough attitude, you could pull off anything.<\/em>“<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n
.<\/span><\/div>\n
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.<\/div>\n

Here’s another video I really enjoyed that was shown at TEDxAkron. \u00a0It’s about a\u00a0completely color blind man who Overcomes Deficiency by finding a very creative way to live in color…<\/div>\n
