JUST BARELY AN INCONVENIENCE

 

JUST BARELY AN INCONVENIENCE – A TRIVIAL AFFLICTION

Kent Cullers is a scientist with a doctorate in Physics. He headed NASA’s search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence project that was developing software that would search for radio signals indicating the presence of other life forms in the universe.

 

But Cullers had a physical challenge to contend with. He refers to it as “a trivial affliction” and

“just barely an inconvenience”.

 

What is the physical challenge?

 

Cullers is blind.

 

It is incredible if someone describes blindness as “a trivial affliction” and “just barely an inconvenience”.

 

Kent Cullers empowered himself to reach greater heights employing the two phrases.

 

He doesn’t give any power to his limitations whereby he is able to transcend them and accomplish more than those who have their sight.

 

Look at the obstacles if any you face in your life right now.

 

Imagine the power you could unleash if you saw them as “just barely an inconvenience” instead of as an insurmountable barrier.

RISK AVERSION

 

RISK AVERSION

We protect our children as they are precious to us. We place them in the protective mode.  Biologists call it the ‘shield tendency’. Parents are worried about their little ones getting hurt playing sport, going on adventure or climbing trees, they impose strict control upon them to prevent the occurrence any unfortunate mishaps.  They are forced to confine themselves to their studies. The parents are after their children to make it good in the world as they delineate. But there are risks if you are over protective. Kids lose their sense of adventure, their spirits, their resilience, their sense of humour and their joy. Eventually they lose their way as they grow up. Do not structure them. Do not think for them. Do not force risk aversion upon them. Let them speak. Let them think. Let them fall and get up. Let them act. Let them laugh. Let them take reasonable risks. Let them grow up as the finest individuals they ever can be.
