Mikael Andersson - Armless Legless Peerless (part 5 of 6)

[Swedish language, english subs will come!]

A really cool Swedish dude.
This is a documentary made about him and his life. Broadcast at a Swedish television channel in 2004.

Stubborn, stubborn, stubborn! Mikael Andersson was born without arms and legs. The doctors thought he wouldn't even be able to learn how to sit. Today he is a strong, well trained family father and lecturer. With a lot to learn about willpower and human possibilities.

Quote from Micke's homepage:
"To discover and evolve our hidden resources and realize how we are affected by our own and the surroundings expectations are enormously important.

Mikael means that "it pertains to free yourself from others expectations but as much from your own. People restrain their own development and success by holding on to limited convictions about themselves and what they can achieve. If I don't have a knowledge or skill I can get it. Isn't there a ready solution I get to invent one. We can achieve considerably more than what we ourselves our surrounding think is possible." "

"We are ourselves responsible of what is happening in our life's. We create our own reality and it is the own power of thought that decide if we choose life or not."

Envis, envis, envis! Mikael Andersson föddes utan armar och ben. Läkarna trodde inte ens att han skulle kunna lära sig sitta. Idag är han en stark, vältränad familjefar och föreläsare. Med mycket att lära ut om viljekraft och mänskliga möjligheter.

I wish there was an English translation or subtitles, but I had tears in my eyes at this man's courage and strength. My disabilities are minor compared to his, but he has inspired me to never let obstacles hold me back.
