[BITList] Morning dose of Inspiration

enjoy!!!

This is a Chinese modern dance competition on TV.  One 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 was trained as one since she
was a little girl.  Later she got into some kind of accident and lost
  her entire left arm.  She was depressed for a few years.  It seemed
  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
  to dance.  She wanted to dance again.  So she started to do some of
  her old routines.  But by her losing an arm, she also lost her
  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. This
guy also fell into the usual denial, depression and anger type of  
emotional
roller coaster.  She looked him up (seemingly he was from a different
Province) and persuaded him to dance with her. He had never danced.

  "And to dance with one leg?  Are you joking with me?  No way".
  But she didn't give up.  He reluctantly agreed.

" I have nothing else to do anyway."  She started to teach him dancing
101.  The two broke up a few times because the guy had no concept
of using muscle, control 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. They hired a choreographer to design routines for them. She
would fly high (held by him) with both arms (a sleeve for an arm)
flying in the air.  He could bend horizontally supported by one leg
and she leaning on him, etc. They danced beautifully and they
legitimately beat others in the competition.

A magnificent and touching performance! It is living proof that a strong
spirit can conquer any physical limitations!
