I think that everyone has something about themselves that they feel is their weakness... their 'disability.' and i'm certain we all have one, because i think of a disability as being anything which undermines our belief and confidence in our own abilities.

More From Aimee Mullins

Confidence is not lodged in people's brains, it comes from the support system that surrounds them. let's not confuse confidence overall with just self-confidence. self-confidence is only one part of confidence. people also need confidence in others - their colleagues and leaders - that they can count on them to do the right thing and not to let them down.
People Support Leader
Men who have flattered themselves into this opinion of their own abilities, look down on all who waste their lives over books, as a race of inferior beings condemned by nature to perpetual pupilage, and fruitlessly endeavouring to remedy their barrenness by incessant cultivation, or succour their feebleness by subsidiary strength. they presume that none would be more industrious than they, if they were not more sensible of deficiences; and readily conclude, that he who places no confidence in his own powers owes his modesty only to his weakness.

You must know the difference between dissent from the iraq war and the war on terror and undermining it. and any american that undermines that war, with our soldiers in the field, or undermines the war on terror, with 3,000 dead on 9/11, is a traitor. everybody got it? dissent, fine; undermining, you're a traitor. got it? so, all those clowns over at the liberal radio network, we could incarcerate them immediately. will you have that done, please? send over the fbi and just put them in chains, because they, you know, they're undermining everything and they don't care, couldn't care less.

Because gratitude is the key to happiness, anything that undermines gratitude must undermine happiness. and nothing undermines gratitude as much as expectations. there is an inverse relationship between expectations and gratitude: the more expectations you have, the less gratitude you will have.

Keep the extent of your abilities unknown.the wise man does not allow his knowledge and abilities to be sounded to the bottom, if he desires to be honored at all. he allows you to know them but not to comprehend them. no one must know the extent of his abilities, lest he be disappointed. no one ever has an opportunity of fathoming him entirely. for guesses and doubts about the extent of his talents arouse more veneration than accurate knowledge of them, be they ever so great.

But if the strength ain't real, i recall thinking the very last thing that day, before i finally passed out, then the weakness sure enough is. weakness is true and real. i used to accuse the kid of faking his weakness. but faking proves the weakness is real. or you wouldn't be so weak as to fake it. no, you can't ever fake being weak. you can only fake being strong. . .

Strong Women Needs Arms
I know no study which is so unutterably saddening as that of the evolution of humanity, as it is set forth in the annals of history. out of the darkness of prehistoric ages man emerges with the marks of his lowly origin strong upon him. he is a brute, only more intelligent than the other brutes, a blind prey to impulses, which as often as not led him to destruction; a victim to endless illusions, which make his mental existence a terror and a burden, and fill his physical life with barren toil and battle.

The good lord bird don't run in a flock. he flies alone. you know why? he's searching. looking for the right tree. and when he sees that tree, that dead tree that's taking all the nutrition and good things from the forest floor. he goes out and he gnaws at it, and he gnaws at it till the thing gets tired and it falls down. and the dirt from it raises other trees. it gives them good things to eat. it makes 'em strong. gives 'em life. and the circle goes 'round.

I've had enormous luck and enormous pleasure in working in such forms as movies and plays that i loved when i was a kid and i just - because i could always write dialogue, because i always had a sense of how people spoke. and because i had a strong narrative sense; growing up and loving stories, loving novels, i just seem to know how to tell a story and i read a lot, i went to a lot of movies, i went to a lot of plays, and it rubbed off on me. and that's all. it just rubbed off on me.
