All of us are not born equal, we all are different in our own ways because we are created

differently. Take for example Sam Berns who has a condition called Progeria, this kind
of condition only affects 350 kids worldwide, the effects of this condition are tight skin,
lack of weight gain, stunted growth, and heart disease. Even if he has this condition, he
still lives a happy life. According to him there are three thing you need to consider for a
happy life.

First is “Be OK with what you ultimately can’t do, because there so much you CAN
do” this means that you need to focus more on the things that you can do and you have
fun doing rather than contemplating on something that you can’t do, don’t force yourself
if you can’t do the things that you want because there are many things that you can do.
Second is “Surround yourself with people you want to be around” well this phrase is
self-explanatory. This basically means that you need to surround yourself with people
who are important to you, people who gives importance to you, and people you are
comfortable with, people who loves and cares for you, people that is very close to you.
Examples of these kind of people are your loved ones, they’ve been there since day one
and have never left your side, other example of this are your loyal and faithful friends,
it’s hard finding a friend, a trustworthy friend so keep them. The third and final aspect of
a happy life according to Berns is “Keep on moving forward” this is also self-
explanatory; this means that whatever you are doing or what you want to do just keep on
doing it and you will succeed. Our differences or disabilities is not an obstacle in
achieving your dreams. We should keep on moving forward even if we are different so
that we can prove to other people that even if we are different or have a disability, we
can do the things most people do, that we can do what they can do.

Let Sam Berns be our inspiration that even if we have minor or major difference, we
can do the things that we really want, and that we should always be grateful in what we
have. We should strive for the best of us even if we are different. We are who we are and
we are beautiful in our own ways.
