subject: Be Positive Towards Life, though you have AMD [print this page] Be Positive Towards Life, though you have AMD
Sometimes, positive attitudes towards life will make worse better. This is true on one of my friends, on whom I have detected the magic power of optimism. She often says what we see with our mind is just the reality of them, which are completely different from what we can see with eyes. If you think it is green, though you eyes see it is dark, it is green at any time.
She has suffered from Macular Degeneration due to heredity. She becomes blind when she was only a school girl. She tells me she found everything in the world was dark and hopeless then. Or she had ever tries to kill herself. But her parents encouraged her- giving up offers no way out. She tried to adjust herself. However, she had encountered many setbacks as she grew up. Especially, she was told that she can not drive a car, for her eye problems. This made her different from all friends and peers around. And later she decided to drop out of school, for she can not get used to the life of others.
Later, one physician told her that no one on this planet was perfect and all people had some demerits, visible or invisible. No one is perfect, but minds and attitudes towards life can make a person less worse. The less worse, the better she or he would be. She noticed that she can do something else, though with impaired vision.
After that, she tried to see everything from a much macro viewpoint with more positive attitudes. And she now is one of the most popular teachers among vision impaired children, though she has AMD, though she is blind. Therefore, I want to say to all friends with AMD or other vision problems- never give up, there is also a hope when you find there is no hope before you. You attitudes will make decisions and determination for everything. Hold on.
