[tri-med] Amazing

I got this from a friend of mine. It's amazing! The next time someone says
"I can't..." show them this!

In a Chinese modern dance competition on TV., this couple won one of
the top prizes. The lady has one arm and the guy has one leg. They
performed gracefully and beautifully.
 The lady in her 30s was a dancer and had trained as one since she
 was a little girl. Later she got into som e kind of accident and 
 lost her entire left arm. She was depressed for a few years. It seems
 that someone asked her to coach a Children's dancing group. From
 that point on, she realized she could not forget dancing. She still
loved ballet. She wanted to dance again. So she started to do some
 of her old routines. But by her losing an arm, she had also lost her
sense of balance. It took a while before she could even making
 simple turns and spins without falling. Eventually she got it.

 Then she heard some guy in his 20s had lost a leg in an accident.
 He also fell into the usual denial, depression, and anger type of
 emotional roller coaster. She looked him up (he was from a different
Province) and persuaded him to dance with her. He had never
 danced.  And...to dance with one leg?

But she didn't give up. He finally agreed with some reluctance.

"I  have nothing else to do anyway."

 So she started to teach him dancing 101. The two broke up a few
times because the guy had no concept of using muscle control with his
body, and a few other basic things about dancing. When she became
frustrated and lost patience with him, he would walk out.

Eventually they came back together and started training, hiring a
choreographer to design routines for them. They danced beautifully,
and  they legitimately beat others in the competition!

Just wondering... If ignorance is bliss, why are so many people miserable?
