Jessica Cox, an inpiration

I came across this inspirational article, on Jessica Cox a few days ago. The motivational speaker was invited to Kuala Lumpur recently to deliver her speech, sharing about her memoirs of growing up and the various obstacles she has encountered along the way. What truly inspired me was Jessica, born without arms, was able to accomplish many tasks and goals in her life. Despite her handicap, this lady has proven that anything is possible if you have the courage to pursue your dreams. Having said that, I truly admire her courage, determination, work and strength of character to live her life with passion. It seems that she managed to lead a normal life in spite of her disabilities, how cool.

Can you imagine people fly a plane without arms? Check out this inspirational video on how Jessica Cox literally pilots a plane.

    Yes, she's an inspiration indeed! If someone with no arms can do this much, what about the rest of us.

    This woman is amazing! Some people might just go commit suicide if they lost both arms. :(

    oh darn because of being on satellite I don't dare watch any videos.

    But, my father-in-law who was a paraplegic, built his own small aircraft and flew all over in it.

    He did films for the military and also visited soldiers all over who were seriously injured in war to help them see that their lives were not over.

    So I know this has got to be a very inspirational piece!!

    Happy weekend,
    Jackie:-)

    Mariuca,
    I was so inspired by her "adaptedness" in life. She didn't feel that she was a handicap, doing almost everything by herself.
