It's good that he is concentrating on what he can do instead of getting stressed about what he can't do. People need to understand that we should not compare ourselves against those who have different abilities than we do or we will go through life feeling depressed and inadequate. I know this from experience when I was young. I had some health issues which meant I could not do the athletic stuff other kids did, I felt broken.
Many People are always trying to compare themselves to others that are the best in their field which makes them submissive. They have a feeling of inadequacy. Those people they idolize may be good at what they are good at but rarely do they not have flaws. We put people on a pedistal which leads them into risky situations because they desire to get better and they then flop because of peer pressure. My mother was paralyzed on one side from a stroke but she adapted, thanking the lord that she had a chance to see more of her family before she had to go. She suffered, but to her it was just an inconvenience. Sometimes she did get frustrated when we could not understand what she was saying but when we figured out what she was trying to say she got happy. I look back now and see things different. I see it was my fault for not learning to interpret what she was trying to say, I was intelligent enough to figure out what she was saying but I was not paying attention and I accepted her language problem as all hers. We need to learn to interpret what is being said. This video is a powerful message, when we get old we should be happy with what we have got and not depressed about what we lost. With that attitude we should all research how to actually repair the problems we have instead of complaining about them.
Complaining never fixed anything. It just chases people away because they do not want to feel depressed. With this guys limitations his attitude is still good and he is used to being that way.
