Scaling one peak after another

This article appeared on the prime page in the Straits Times on 27 February 2009.

It is about a 38 year old woman called Miss Oh Siew May who is suffering from cerebral palsy. Unlike many others who are also suffering from the same disease, Miss Oh is still able to walk. Despite her disability, she chose not to wallow in self pity but to chase and live her dreams. In 2005, she succeed in scaling Mount Kinabalu in east Malaysia. Her friends also encouraged her to write a book about her life story and with their help she completed the book.

This is indeed a very inspiring article because even though she is disabled, she is able to do what many others are not able to do. It show that mental strength and self belief is very important in order for one to succeed in whatever one wants to do. This also shows that friend is very important as they will help you in times of need.

Another thing I admire about Miss Oh is that she is not afraid of being embarrassed and even published a book on her lifetime story. She is doing it so that others could benefit from her experience. I also learn the meaning of true friendship. Miss Oh succeeded because of her friends' help.

Another inspirational example is about a one arm female ballet dancer and a one leg male dancer dancing together. A youtube video is shown below.
