In short, he changed from liking everything to being afraid of everything. Friends who had been friends with him for a long time, now gradually distanced themselves from him because they were bored with his personality. And then life went on like that. Today, a close friend from high school, after several years of wandering in a foreign land, came back here to visit him. You were surprised at how quickly he changed. You invited him to go drinking, to do drugs, to go hiking, he also refused, and you invited him to do a few other things, but he did not respond. You asked him about it, then sat silently. After a while, you said: The severe cold really changed his life. And it turned him in a different direction. You said frankly: Time is precious and every minute of life must be cherished. His health is not a limitation. The limitation lies in his thinking.
You mentioned the painter who was exposed to dioxin since childhood and had to live in a children's village. His legs were weak and he struggled to hold a can of water with both hands. But unlike many other children in the same situation in the children's village, he never confined himself within limits. He read books about heroes and famous people, learned about their lives, their will to live, their courage to live, and set himself the goal of living with great aspirations.
He realized his passion for drawing when he saw the paintings of a nun and he asked to learn from her. And he dreamed of becoming an artist. His hands were weak and it was difficult to hold a pen, so he practiced drawing by biting the pen with his teeth. There were days when his teeth hurt so much that they bled, but he persevered and did not give up. His dream came true.
He left the village to rent a room and earn a living by drawing, selling his paintings and teaching drawing to children. And his name spread far and wide, he became an inspiration to many young people. Receiving a scholarship to go to America, he sent a video showing off his first skiing experience in his life.
He sat listening, his eyes suddenly filled with tears, perhaps he was regretting the years of limiting himself. You said: It's never too late. Live the life you want right now.
