Stephen Hawking was 21 when he was diagnosed with a rare motor neuron disease that made him wheelchair-bound and having to talk through a computerised voice. He is now 73 and one of the foremost physicists alive. His advice to people with disability is, "concentrate on things that your disability doesn't prevent you doing well and don't regret the things it interferes with. Don't be disabled in spirit, as well as physically."

Life throws many challenges at us. Some we overcome successfully and others we have to cope with. Focusing on things we can do and control, and attempting to push the boundaries on them without fear, can help us be positive in mind and spirit.
