Some Of The Greatest Men/women That Triumph Despite Their Adversities by Dotwillis1(m): 10:46pm On Nov 30, 2014 |
Check out the roll call of some of the greatest men/women this world has ever known, they all rejected their physical, economic or geographical obstacles and fought to the TOP.. The same adversity that causes some to break down causes others to break records. I have a short list here, you can add more if you know of any. Two of the three greatest poets of the world were blind ;Homer &milton Abraham lincoln was raised in poverty, One of the greatest USA presidents, Franklin Roosevelt was paralyzed as an infant Obama family background ws a disaster ...Cripple a man & you have Sir Walter Scott; lock him in prison and you have Nelson Mandela and John Bunyan.... MKO Abiola was born into poverty, George Washington was raised in bad climate- in the snow of valley forge. Glen Cunningham suffered from severe burns as a child,& doctors said he would never be able to walk again, but he set the world record for the 1-minute mile event in 1934. Albert Einstein was thrown out of skul because he was regarded as a slow learner nd retarded.. odm |

Chimamanda Adichie overcame adversity by schooling outside the country. If she released books in her native Nigeria no one would've heard of her - she'd've become a hungry author. 1 Like |
