Using vulgar language indirectly on our parent all in d name of settling a score is directly on us........let learn to tolerate each other, cos we can make even a retard productive wt power of tolerance.
I wnt to believe dis a mature forum and we dont really need to embark on vulgar words against ourself to drive our point home......it is well wt our souls.

Blindness is no gift! The gift was 'his musical talent' and 'will to succeed in the face of challenge. The ability to find a way around his weakness, rather than succumbing to self pity.

We do not have any one that is disabled we are all able in our own unique ways. There is this boy at the car park of kaduna central market that will disgrace most drivers with two hands he does menial jobs diligently to survive. Kudos to the Lagos governor for passing that law and enforcing it.

In my own opinion,the best producer in Naija music industry.What he simply meant was that ''not seeing,or ignoring distractions helps one stay focused''.

He didn't mean it in the literal sense . that's why he said you have to be blind to be focused. ..

Great video.

A few semesters ago, I had a landlord who was blind from birth, but he doesn't let that stop him from living. The man is an Engineer and goes to work everyday, using a taxi. I really like the lessons Cobhams gives in the video. Thanks for sharing, OP.

madridsta007: Inspiring message Cobhams.

However, I want to think differently. Blindness is not a gift. Sight is.

From his lecture, you could also call the title The Gift of Focus. His point is, being blind to everything else so you can achieve your goal is a gift. Im pretty sure Cobhams would love to get physical sight if he could.
