The battle to find a workplace that's wheelchair accessible is a feat in itself, let alone an employer who's going to be cool about employing someone with a disability in a job you actually want to do.

In my own home, where I've been able to create an environment that works for me, I'm hardly disabled at all. I still have an impairment, and there are obviously some very restrictive things about that, but the impact of disability is less.

In Australia, a deaf person attending an interview must take their own interpreter at their own expense, or ask the employer to provide one. Believe me, nothing says 'I'm the best person for this job' quite like asking an employer to pay to interview you.

People with disabilities are simply part of diverse communities in the U.S.

Only an artist can interpret the meaning of life.

In school, you're taught a lesson and then given a test. In life, you're given a test that teaches you a lesson.

Doubt yourself all you want, but you have to make choices in life and live with them.

What do you want a meaning for? Life is a desire, not a meaning.
