I have to admit that I've never read any articles in The Economist Magazine, especially the obituary. Thinking about the death of other people, even the strangers, makes me feel a little bit uncomfortable. But reading an obituary is a good way to review the whole life of a person. Somehow, I gradually get acquainted with the idea of getting to know a stranger by reading his/her obituary. That's weird, actually.
I have seen a very uplifting video of the handicapped man named Nick Vujicic and I simply admire those who could overcome their own adversities and live the fullest of life, like Nick Vujicic and Christopher Nolan.
Christy is the one whose both arms and legs have been disabled from birth and I'm astonished at the fact that he could manage to live his own life happily without causing much troubles to other people around him. His limbs were of no use and he couldn't talk, whenever he tried to say something, all came out of his mouth were the “dull looks, dribbles and senseless sounds”. But somehow, he overcame it all. Although it took him 15 minutes to write one word, he could manage to write a novel named "The Banyan Tree". Besides, he wrote many poems as well as writings and won competitions. I'm impressed by his ambition to "best his body and get them out". In the world where many talents are wasted, I really appreciate his courage and spirit. He's a good model, both for the handicapped and ordinary people like me.
