An inspiring biography of a champion for achieving the impossible.
I recently finished Christopher Reeve's second book "
Nothing Is Impossible" he wrote after his tragic accident that left him paralyzed. It is an
inspiring look at how he faced the unimaginable challenges of the "permanent" loss of his arms and legs. In the end, despite all of the scientific evidence telling him that he would not recover any movement, he persevered to recover movement past anyone's expectations, including his own.
One of my favorite parts of the book is a quote he uses from Robert Kennedy:
"The future does not belong to those who are content with today, apathetic toward common problems and their fellow man alike, timid and fearful in the face of bold projects and new ideas. Rather, it will belong to those who can blend passion, reason, and courage in a personal commitment to the great enterprises and ideals of [...] society."
