LIFE GOES ON

See the enthusiasm, confidence and tenacity on his face? Can we ever be distressed, impatient or complaining for frivolous reasons after witnessing this?

Miracle Man Walks Again Monday, July 9, 2007
He survived against all the odds; now Peng Shu Lin has astounded doctors by learning to walk again.



When his body was cut in two by a lorry in 1995, it was little short of a medical miracle that he lived. It took a team of more than 20 doctors to save his life. Skin was grafted from his head to seal his torso? But the legless Mr Peng was left only 78cm ( 2ft 6in ) tall.

Bedridden for years, doctors in China had little hope that he would ever be able to live anything like a normal life again. But recently, he began exercising his arms, building up the strength to carry out everyday chores such as washing his face and brushing his teeth.


Doctors at the China Rehabilitation Research Centre in Beijing found out about Mr Peng's plight late last year and devised a plan to get him up walking again. They came up with an ingenious way to allow him to walk on his own, creating a sophisticated egg cup-like casing to hold his body with two bionic legs attached to it.

He has been taking his first steps around the centre with the aid of his specially adapted legs and a resized walking frame. Mr Peng, who has to learn how to walk again, is said to be delighted with the device. What Self Confidence!

Highest Position

Do you know who holds the highest position in the world?



President Barack Obama?


Nope.


Pope Benedict?


Nope.


The Dalai Lama?


Nope.


Do you want to see WHO that person is ?













Babu Sassi, a fearless young man from southern India,


is the cult hero of Dubai's army of construction workers.


Known as the "Indian on the top of the world",


Babu is the crane operator at the world's tallest building, the 819-meter Burj Dubai.


His office, the cramped crane cab perched on top of the Burj, is also his home.


It takes too long to come down to the ground each day to make it worthwhile -


although, when the building is completed, its elevators will be the world's fastest.


Stories about his daily dalliance with death are discussed in revered terms by Dubai's workers.


Some say he has been up there for more than a year,


others whisper that he's paid 30,000 dirhams ($8,168) a month


compared with the average wage of 800 dirhams a month.


But everyone agrees, he's worth it -


because nobody else would have the courage to do the job!
