My advice to other disabled people would be, concentrate on things 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.
The above is a quote from the late theoretical physicist and cosmologist Stephen Hawking. A week ago, Hawking died at age 76 in Cambridge, England, from complications of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) or "Lou Gehrig's disease," a form of motor neurone disease. ALS progressively weakens muscles and impairs physical function. Born on January 8, 1942, in Oxford, England, Hawking was diagnosed with ALS shortly after his 21st birthday and was expected to live only two more years. He eventually lost his abilities to walk and talk, so he used a wheelchair and a computerized voice system.
However, Hawking earned his cosmology doctorate at the University of Cambridge in 1965 before embarking on an impressive career in professing and research, most notably his work on black holes and relativity. He received 13 honorary degrees, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and the Fundamental Physics prize, among many other awards. He wrote or co-wrote 15 books, including his bestseller A Brief History of Time. One of the best days of Hawking's life was in 2007 when he experienced weightlessness during a two-hour flight on a modified Boeing 727 over the Atlantic Ocean after visiting the Kennedy Space Center.
Stephen Hawking is a prime example of an individual who didn't let his disabilities stop him from pursuing his passion. He is survived by three adult children and three grandchildren. His ashes will be buried in Westminster Abbey in London later this year. For more information about Hawking, go to http://www.hawking.org.uk/.
A significant loss to the scientific community and all of mankind ~
