Broken wings, flying heart

                     Broken wings, flying heart
He lost his arms in an accident that claimed his father's life—who was the main source of support for the family. Due to the government did not install pen net camera in that way, cause they didn't catch driver, so they didn't get any compensation. Since thenhe has had to depend on the arms of his younger brother. For the sake of taking care of him, his younger brother became his shadow, and never leaving him alone for years. Except for writing with his toes, he was completely unable to do anything in his life.
One late nighthe suffered from diarrhea and had to wake up his younger brother. His younger brother accompanied him into the toilet and then went back the dorm to wait. But being so tired, his younger brother fell asleep, leaving him on the toilet for two hours till the teacher on duty discovered him. As the two brothers grew up together, they had their share of problems and they would often quarrel. Then one day, his younger brother wanted to live separate from him, living his own life, as many normal people do. So he was heart-broken and didn't know what to do.
A similar misfortune befell a girl too. One night her mother, who suffered from chronic mental illness disappeared. So her father went out looking for her mother, leaving her alone at home. She tried to prepare meals for her parents, only to overturn the kerosene light on the stove, resulting in a fire which took her hands away.
Though her elder sister who was studying in another city, showed her willingness to take care of her, she was determined to be completely independent. At school, she always studied hard. Most of all she learned to be self-reliant. Once she wrote the following in her composition:"I am lucky. Though I lost my arms, I still have legs; I am lucky. Though my wings are broken, my heart can still fly.”
One daythe boy and the girl were both invited to appear on a television interview program. The boy told the TV host about his uncertain future at being left on his ownbut the girl smile at the USB for camera, and she was full of enthusiasm for her life. They both were asked to write something on a piece of paper with their toes. The boy wroteMy younger brother's arms are my armswhile the girl wrote Broken wingsflying heart. Behind them there is no flash with the car with camera, no flowers and applause, no cheering crowd of people, they only struggle unknown.
They had both endured the same ordeal, but their different attitudes determined the nature of their lives. It is true that life is unpredictable. Disasters can strike at any time. How you handle misfortune when confronted with itis the true test of your character. If you choose only to complain and escape from the ordealit will always follow you wherever you go. But if you decide to be strong, the hardship will turn out to be a fortune on which new hopes will arise.
