Do we have good excuses for lack of achievement? History is replete with people with problems. Homer could have squatted at the gates of Athens, have been pitied and fed by coins from the rich. He, like Milton the poet and Prescott the historian, had a good alibi: he was blind, as were they. Demosthenes, greatest of all great orators, had a wonderful alibi: his lungs were weak, his voice hoarse and unmusical, and he stuttered. Julius Caesar, statesman and general, was an epileptic. Beethoven was stone deaf at middle age. They all had good alibis-but they never used them!

This is wonderful. I am now doing away with all my alabis.
I guess if we feel passionate about an idea we will achieve what we set out to do. Nothing will deter us. Then again if we feel something is hopeless, then I suppose any excuse will do.
Some people are driven by adversities, their aim is to overcome them no matter what. While other accept their limitations and live within the boundaries set for them. Life is full of choices.
