An Inspiring Dance - He without a leg and She without an arm
You must watch this! Very inspiring and touching. It’s a video clip sent to me by my remisier (an equities dealer).
What you are about to see was seen at a Chinese modern dance competition, broad-casted on one of China’s TV stations.
One extraordinary couple won one of the top prizes. The lady has only one arm and the guy has only one leg. They performed gracefully and beautifully. The lady, in her 30’s, was a dancer and was trained as one since she was a little girl. Later, she got into some kind of accident and lost her entire right arm. She was depressed a few years. Then someone asked her to coach a children’s dance group.
From that point, she realized she could not forget dancing. She still loved to dance and wanted to dance again. So she started to do some of her old routines. But by her losing an arm, she also lost her balance. It took a while before she could even make simple turns and spins. Eventually she got it.
Then she heard some guy in his 20’s had lost a leg in an accident. This guy also fell into the usual denial, depression and anger type of emotional roller coaster. She looked him up (apparently he was from another province) and try to him to persuade dance with her. He had never danced, “Dance with one leg? Are you joking with me? No way!” But she didn’t give up.
He finally, reluctantly agreed. “I have nothing else to do anyway.” She started to teach him dancing 101. The two broke up a few times because the guy had no concept of using muscular control of his body, and a few other basic things about dancing. When she became frustrated and lost patience with him, he would walk out. Eventually they came back together and started training again. They hired a choreographer to design dance routines for them. She would “fly” high (held by him) with both arms (a sleeve for an arm) in the air. He would bend horizontally, supported on one leg and she leaning against him, etc. They danced beautifully and they managed to beat others in the competition.
What has this dance got to do with internet marketing?
It’s living proof that a strong, never-give-up spirit can conquer any physical (and even emotional) limitations. This dance gives me inspiration to strive on when things seems daunting and impossible. Just like the couple who must have suffered sweat and tears, to not give up.
Internet marketing is not an easy venture for most of us. There’s always some stumbling block we must overcome before tasting some appetisers of success. Sometimes, after trying our best, when things seem doomed to failure that we give up. Not knowing that we are right at the edge, where, if we push just a little further, we can peek over the edge and see success.
