Scientist’s words are worth looking at years
In words are seen the state of mind, character and disposition of the speaker.

What obstacles are you facing in your life right now?
I read an article about Kent Cullers, a scientist who headed NASA’s Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence project. Cullers, who has a doctorate in physics, was developing software that searches for radio signals indicating the presence of other life forms in the universe.
Sounds a little like Star Trek, doesn’t it? But make no mistake about it, this is some pretty technical scientific research.
And yet, Cullers has a physical challenge to contend with. Let me tell you how he describes it. He refers to his condition as “a trivial affliction” and “just barely an inconvenience.”
What is Cullers’ particular physical challenge? A touch of arthritis? Or an occasional migraine headache?
Kent Cullers is blind. That’s right… he’s blind. Isn’t it incredible that someone can describe blindness as “a trivial affliction” or “just barely an inconvenience”?
By using these words, Kent Cullers is empowering himself to achieve great things. He doesn’t give any power to his limitations and, as a result, he is able to transcend them and accomplish more than those who have their sight.
What obstacles are you facing in your life right now?
Imagine the power you could unleash if you saw them as “just barely an inconvenience” instead of as an insurmountable barrier.
