Todays assembly programme really touched me alot. Just one mistake, and imagine waking up the next minute, not knowing what had exactly happened, but realizing you are paralyzed from your chest downwards. What would you have done? How would you have handled that situation?

A 25 year old man, paralyzed chest downwards, yet life still goes on for him. Just 35 mins of talk, and he really inspired and touched me so much. He made me reflect, and had me thinking. He made me want to cherish life even more.

How we give up at the slightest things, how we always wallow in self pity, how we are never happy with what we have, how we never cherish the things around us until we lose them. He's just a 25 year old man. Though paralyzed, he still cherishes every minute of his life. Like any other ordinary person, he too, has his goals and dreams. He paints beautifully with his mouth. He wrote a book on his accident which he hopes, would be a source of hope to anyone. He truly, is such an inspiration.

How seldom do we meet people like that nowadays? It must have been a difficult journey for him. Perhaps, it is through him, God wants many of us to learn from. I remember last sunday at church, the gospel said, "For it is when we are weak, that we are strong." I finally understand what that means. For it was when that boy was weak, that he became strong. At the end of it all, the whole hall stood up, applauding him.

I can't wait to read his book. I hope many will benefit from it.

Maybe things arent the way it seems.
Yes, everyone has her own opinions, her own say in this.
One might not agree with the other or whatsoever.
However, we should all just sit down and talk things out.
I'm sure we would get this resolved.

Please, I love everyone of you.
Surely dont want to see this happening right here, right now.
