What Do You Know That You Never Want To Forget? As long as you're alive, as long as you breathe, don't give up. This is one of my mantras. I came upon it when I read a book for my french class. It was about this man completely paralysed apart from his left eye (or right eye. I can't remember which of the two). With just one eye blinking, he managed to write a book. Yes, a book about his experience in the hospital lying still in the bed! It may sound boring, but he had wit & humour. It was a very slow process, as his wife had to go through the whole alphabet to compose words. For example, if he wanted the word 'the', his wife would say out loud the alphabet, and when she reached the letters 't' 'h' 'e' respectively, he would blink. Thus, slowly and patiently they managed to write a whole book. When I read the story, I realised that if you don't give up and have a determination to make the best of your situation, then you will have a fulfilling life.
