Crutches

A young man began his studies at a well-known university, and had to get around on crutches everywhere he went. He was a friendly, gregarious, and positive person, and he earned the respect and friendship of many of his fellow students.

One day a friend asked him what had happened that necessitated the crutches. He replied, "Infantile paralysis," and seemed to close the conversation. But the friend was insistent, and continued, "With something as bad as that, how in the world can you face the world so cheerfully?"

"Oh," the young man responded, "the disease never touched my heart."

It's all attitude, and we can choose.
