The fact that I am blind is not what defines my life. It should be of no more interest than my blood type. People wonder if there is a relationship between my lack of sight and the way I sing. But there's no connection.

To be successful in life, it is not important what you are born with but how you handle your situation. If you are blind, you have a different set of challenges and opportunities. There are those who see things with their eyes and those who see things with their ears. Those who can read books, thos... e who can’t read. There are those who can sing, and there are those who can’t. If you are blind, you should know that your situation is unique and you should not be ashamed of it. This is not a disability but a personal challenge that you have taken up. If you are going to overcome it, you will need to have the right attitude. This attitude should be something that you can work on to get better. If you can’t see, you will have to listen. You can’t read books, so you will have to listen to the lyrics. If you are good at speaking, you will have to sing. If you can write, you will have to write. It is up to you to decide what you will do to get better. Blindness is not something that defines your life. If you are born blind, then you will have to live with that.
