Eric Weihenmayer
Not a very familiar name. But Eric Weihenmayer's name must have been written in the first row in the history of the impossibility of man by force of will alone.
Eric lost his sight at the age of thirteen while attending an elementary school in New Jersey. He is not born blind. After enjoying this glittering, joyful world for 13 years, after enjoying it, all of a sudden it disappeared from his eyes. Extreme frustration and sadness filled his life.
Friends of the same age used to play on the field shouting. There is a lot to do here and there. I used to study. Tells school stories back from school. The story of a variety of different experiences.
Eric just sat quietly and listened. There was no story in his life. There was just a hard, ruthless present hanging in the dark.
Eric would sit and think about how to get rid of this screen. When Lake shows mercy to him, he shows kindness and says Aha Ray! Poor blind! Then he was most sad. Seems the most insulting. Yourself. He does not want to be the object of mercy. Want to stand on your own two feet in everyone's opinion. To live a normal life.
Unruly boy forgets everything and runs away to play with friends. Friends showed compassion and sat him down on the side of the field. Someone scatters or arrows of ridicule.
One day stubbornness was suppressed in my mind. They have to show. Everyone. Whether blind or not, he can do whatever they want. Even what they can't do, they have to do. Disabled means disabled, useless, a vessel of kindness or ridicule — this is the idea that people need to change.
Eric loved sports. But after losing his sight, no one takes him in the game. Hayek alone, the game does not go! So I started to think that there is a game that can be played by itself, alone! Mountaineering was remembered till the end. Mount Everest, the highest peak in the world, was read in school books as a child. Eric thinks that conquering this highest peak is not an easy task. Several people in the world have accomplished this impossible, but they were all perfect human beings. According to Eric, if the disabled can overcome this formidable peak, it will be a wonder!
The mockery of the friends and the sympathy should be answered accordingly. Eric got up and started practicing.
Admitted to a mountaineering school near home. After years of continuous practice, Eric memorized all the ups and downs of the mountain. How to walk on ice-covered peaks, how to tie ropes around each other's waists, how to throw a rope tied to the top of a rope, it gets stuck in the hard ice crevices Gail Eric, as a result of devoted practice.
In the Mahabharata, Mahavira Arjuna used to aim arrows and bows on the nights of the dense dark new moon without the moon and stars to practice accurate aiming.
Eric's habit was a lot like that. After graduating in 2001, Eric set out on a European expedition. In front of his blind eyes, he was just a skyscraper, a snow-capped Everest.
Finally the dream came true. His name became immortal as the world's first blind Everest conqueror. Eric WiehenMayer conveyed the message not only to his classmates or relatives, but to the whole world that there is no word for disability in today's world.
If a person continues to practice with utmost sincerity, if he wants to get something in a determined way, then he can overcome any obstacle in any corner of the world.
‘Mukong karatei bachalong pangung langhyayate giri.
Patience and perseverance overcome mountains.
-Gandhiji
