The other day, I was surprised to see a person with disabilities who swam across the most difficult challenges. Diana Nyad, in her sixties, set up a world record to swim across Cuba to Florida with jellyfish and sharks, despite suffering from asthma.

Philippines Croizon, a man with no arms or legs, swam across the Bering Strait, despite the water being cold.

These people have set an example to the world and shown us that despite disabilities, they have overcomes the challenges. Challenges are for overcoming and not for keeping it aside.
