Michael Ain – Height Doesn’t Matter
Aiming High, Soaring High - Michael Ain If Michael Ain believed in playing the odds, he never would have become a doctor. Rejection letters from more than 20 medical schools--as Ain received--would have convinced most people to change career plans. But more than anything else, Ain wanted to be a doctor. He was smart and knew he could do the job. Being only 4 feet 3 inches, he staunchly believed, should not affect how his dice were cast. Fortunately, the odds do not always prevail. At last he is a renowned pediatric orthopedic surgeon. From A Demographic Perspective Ain, 38, is remarkable. A pediatric orthopedic surgeon at Johns Hopkins Hospital, he is one of only a handful of physicians in the country who are dwarfs. He may be the only dwarf in the world who is an orthopedic surgeon, a field that has the reputation of being the rough and rugged medical specialty. But to Ain, the day-to-day adjustments that enable him to do his job and thus be remarkable are really quite simple. "To be very honest, the only special things I need are a stool in the O.R., and I have special gowns tailored that are shorter." Michael Ain Treats Patients who have a ...

A natural athlete, he was very passionate about fishing and sports. One day in August 1973, Rick and his friend Don Alder were riding in the back of a pickup truck, returning home from a week-long fishing trip.

After seven months, Rick returned home from rehabilitation in Vancouver.

Nick Vucijic – Life Without Limbs
The Arms of Hope, Legs of Inspiration and Touch of Motivation. Imagine being born without arms. No arms to wrap around someone, no hands to experience touch, or to hold another hand with. Or what about being born without legs? Having no ability to dance, walk, run, or even stand on two feet. Now put both of those scenarios together… no arms and no legs. What would you do? How would that effect your everyday life? Do you think the word hope, inspiration, motivation and success have meaning? Born without limbs! Having had an uneventful pregnancy and no family history to expect this condition, imagine the shock his parents felt when they saw their first born, brand new baby boy, only to find he was what the world would consider imperfect and abnormal. A limbless son was not what nurse Dushka Vujicic, and her husband Pastor Borris Vujicic had been expecting. Nick Vujicic was on the morning of the 4th of December 1982 in Melbourne, Australia. However, the last two words on the minds of his parents was "Praise God!". That is because their firstborn son had been born without limbs! All his mother could say was, “Please, take ...

What Is Your Recovery Rate?
How long does it take you to recover from situations and behaviors that upset you? How long does it take you to recover from situations and behaviors that upset you? Minutes? Hours? Days? Weeks? How long? The longer it takes you to recover the more influence that incident has on your actions; the less able you are to perform to your personal best. In a nutshell the longer it takes you to recover the weaker you are and the poorer your performance. Just ask yourself: How many times have I got upset with my spouse or partner for something the children did hours ago? How many times have I missed an opportunity because I was still focused on the situation that makes me upset and all I could say was ‘NO’ to everything? How many times have I driven my car erratically because I was still thinking of an incident that made me angry? Slow recovery affects your health and your well-being... The point is: a poor recovery rate affects your health. A poor recovery rate affects your well being. A poor recovery rate stops you from living to your potential. You are well aware that you need to exercise to keep the body ...
