that was challenging

sometime, people can do whatever we want, even if we have difficulties or challenging. today, i realized that.

this evening, i went to my mother's place, & had supper. i was watching NHK TV news, then i was just surprised one of stories.

***
it was about "International Day of Disabled Persons 2007". December 3rd was the International Day of Disabled Persons. in NY, some of people with difficulties from the world played the piano in front of audience.

it was just amazing for me. they were really playing the piano beautifully even they have, like only one left hand or blind. it was just they are who they are.

i got impression that maybe they can have feeling that others don't or never feel. that's why they could play so beautifully. something like this.

my mom watched the news with me. then my mom said to me, like "Look! we should appreciate our health. we should do our bests & work more hard!! "

YES, i agree with my mom. we should.

by the way, one of my korean friends said before. she liked to call those disabled people "people with challenging." she explained to me that they were not "disabled" because they could do if they would want to do.

YES, i agree with her. they can.
