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!
