He was talking about disability, what is and isn\u2019t and how, exactly does that apply. What happens when your disability is your greatest asset. He gives examples, including one about a guest on a boat who was given a tour of the boat and afterwards wrote a beautiful, poetic thank you know. That guest was Helen Keller who was deaf and blind since before her second birthday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-58c3916f82710627463ff2b99b309482 wp-block-paragraph\">How? How could she so beautifully conceive what she couldn\u2019t hear or see? She learned to read and write and speak. She wrote books and lectured on subjects of her passion like disabilities, women\u2019s suffrage and labor rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-312c7e4455a2d991a3724775ec9ce55b wp-block-paragraph\">But how?
