Japanese Man with No Arms and No Legs Becomes School Teacher

This is a feel good story if there ever was one….and also one that typifies that Japanese hard work ethic.

A 30-year old Japanese man born with no arms and no legs gained fame by writing his memoir…"No One's Perfect."

It wasn't enough…now he has a teaching license from Meisei University and will begin teaching full-time at an elementary school.no.ones.perfect.jpg

He writes by placing a piece of chalk between his chin and his left shoulder, uses a projector to display wordes he has typed and distributes prepared printouts for students.

"'I want to accept the differences between each person, and work to make people become aware of their good qualities,' he said."

The young man is a tremendous inspiration for not accepting limitations. He will teach volumes each day just be showing up.

What excuse do you use for NOT being able to do something?
