Aimee Mullins


Adversity Redefined

http://www.ted.com/talks/aimee_mullins_the_opportunity_of_adversity.html


The thesaurus might equate "disabled" with synonyms like "useless" and "mutilated," but ground-breaking runner Aimee Mullins is out to redefine the word. Defying these associations, she hows how adversity -- in her case, being born without shinbones -- actually opens the door for human potential.

  1. Saw this on TED tonight. It's very inspirational stuff - TED really does what it says on the tin. I intend to use it in school this week.

    (We have a buyer for the Vejer flat, by the way.)
