Stephen Hawking A Man of determination

However difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at.” – Stephen Hawking

“At the age of 21, a prolific young man filled with ambitions to become a scientist was caught by a disease called ALS (Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis). It paralyzed his whole body, took away his speaking power and put him in a wheelchair for the rest of his life. However, he once reflected, “However difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at.”

Does everything seem over? Do his dreams shatter? It must have been true for 99% of population, but he was not ready to give up in front of the circumstances and decided to fight against the fate to make up his own destiny.

Can you guess who it is and what he achieved? Let me tell you about his achievements and you Speculate answer. He played a major role in the discovery of the Black Hole theory, wrote a ground-breaking book, “A Brief History of Time.” He had thirteen honorary degrees, the Franklin Medal, the Hughes Medal, the Albert Einstein Medal, and the Wolf Prize in Physics.

Yes, you are right; it was Stephen Hawking whose inspiring quote you read at the beginning of this chapter. He turned his disability into ability and tragedy into opportunity through his extraordinary willpower and determination.
