true was not be driving we were transferred in most of my life and. given a college just because we were sharing. my parents they were the most practical people i think i've ever met in my entire life so when it came to learning how to drive. that was just practical that way you can get around on your own you want to have people to take care of you don't have to worry about. taking a bus or using your cam it was really just about trying to figure it out. i just love driving what i love the different things but. most people don't consider the power of my mind i my mind is a very powerful tool and if get into it interject all kinds of things into my system so that my feet are literally. my hands so when it comes to driving. i take it really seriously i have high explain why can't i can drive with one foot on the wheel what is peoples excuse they've got both hands and their feet and yet they

drive like. this doesn't exist. in germany. knew from an early age he had to choose a future occupation that would not require the use. of his deformed arms was all too slim a true for six hours to meet on the phone number she's got a tremendous amount for the summer i realised quite soon i'm never will be a conductor or a painter or a dancer i can't sing so i became a director because i don't know i can't do anything else but to pursue his dream nico went to prestigious film schools and apprenticed under the legendary german director rayner vernon fast binder before making a number of successful feature films but there was one prize job he wanted badly directing a big movie until it in mind and the head of german t.v. said no you can't have the job but you can make a documentary on. so that a might and i said you know i you know i think

that was income and i shouted at him i use the f. word very loudly and very often because i said i apply for the job you know you pay well and not the documentary filmmaker who gets all pate you know and that's all typical you know you give the disabled guy the side job you know and then i went home and my wife said what's the matter and i told her they want me to do a film about the little light. and what do i know about the little might go. and she looked at me and said they go it's time to look the devil in these. i don't know what your lives are like sometimes life can really be rough on people i understand that i get it i've been in real life alvin law is a motivational speaker who's influenced audiences in north america and australia with his message of hope is specially to more than two million youngsters who heard

his top speaking is the best thing i could have ever cited where you're helping kids and they need to have somebody come in and tell them that it's going to be ok but i get such tremendous joy out of doing it there is nothing in my life that makes you happier than speaking to kids nothing and the next time you're ready to give up or quit or packet again well if it helps even a little bit remember the goofy looking guy that played the drums with his feet but remember the words i live by every day there's no such word as can't. thank you. alan travels over one hundred thousand miles a year on his own but after thirty years on the road his body is starting to where it takes its toll career and that stuff around i mean you know my body may not last as long as normal bodies do because of what i'm putting it through i mean as much as i make this look easy i'm still put my body through a lot of stuff just the pain in my back from carrying my luggage scar tissue in my
