Have you heard of Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder and
other physically challenged persons who are using their God-given talents to
earn good money to make a living? Good if you have. Here let me tell you the
story of Jose Feliciano who incidentally is less well known as the first two
just mentioned.
Jose Feliciano
was born blind in Puerto Rico at a time and in a place where even
able-bodied people had a tough time making a living. His handicap notwithstanding,
he pursued his passion for music by acquiring an old guitar and teaching
himself to play. His passion for music was so great that he at times practiced
until his fingers bled. He moved on to become one of the greatest musicians of
our time and earned millions of dollars from his works. One of the finest
pieces of music ever played is a Christmas carol called “Feliz Navidad.” It was written by Jose
Feliciano.
Just like Jose Feliciano and all others, all you
need is to find your passion and deploy it to good use. You too can make money
even if you are physically challenged.
