Loss of hearing and vision destroys a man"s life.Elucidate (Helen Keller)
Answers
No loss of any type can discourage or deter a courageous and righteous man or woman in whose spirit is the ignited spark of God’s own will. Ordinary people might get affected by ordinary loss, but great men and women convert their losses into greatest opportunities of life. Helen Keller was one such great soul who made her hearing and seeing disabilities as her strengths.
After being rendered blind and disabled in hearing and speaking, Helen's frustration to learn more and more about life mounted very high. Her hearing disability combined with visual disability made the teaching and learning more challenging. Helen was a very industrious girl; she always did her best to learn. She had such a natural, innate passion for learning which always motivated her. Manual alphabet, reading, arithmetic, etc., all were formidable challenges for her initially, but Helen overcame them. The most arduous of all of them was learning to speak. Learning to speak is almost an impossible task for those who have hearing disability. So Helen had to work very hard. She had to repeat each word and sentence many times for the right tone and pronunciation. She practiced untiringly. At times she became discouraged and weary too, but she never gave up.
As the saying goes: ‘God helps those who help themselves’, God sent to her Miss Sullivan to help her fight her challenges. After a few years’ struggle and practice, Helen emerged gloriously out of the dark world. She became the first woman in the History of mankind to have graduated from Radcliffe College, studying with other normal students. She accomplished almost the impossible with her patience, perseverance, optimism, sublimation, dedication, and never-say-die-attitude.
