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 know and to have known people to take care of you don't have to worry about. taking a bus or use your cam and it was really just about trying to figure it out. anyway i just love driving. a lot of different things not all to do. most people don't consider the power of my mind i my mind is a very powerful tool and it get into it interjects all kinds of things into my system so that my feet are literally. my hands so when it comes to driving. i get really seriously and 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

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 dolly 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 mite and what do i know about the little mite. and she looked at me and said. they go it's time to look the devil in the. hand 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 here 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 are back 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. thanks. allen 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

shoulder from carrying a briefcase for thirty five years and you know there's not really a shoulder here so what i'm carrying it with i should be doing this i should have like a sherpa or something. how does a guy without arms function on the road all by himself i carry my own luggage with straps i check into hotels all on my own i i rent cars my keys there you go oh thank you boston micros think you know why do i rent cars and it's just how i prefer to function i don't do cabs or because strangely they don't stop when you go . i still travel around all the airports checking into hotels bad driving everywhere in the middle of nowhere getting involved in blizzards and swearing at my wife for putting me out yet in another life and death situation and not think about give it up so i mean i can get on a rant but at the end of the day she also says this line this is a wonderful line. i mean if you're tired of traveling i'm sure there's a cubicle with your name written out in a windowless office somewhere in the middle of nowhere for

a mundane job that you. and then it goes. in germany. had to overcome his lifetime aversion to other children in my shoes when he decided to make a documentary in which he and eleven other victims would pose nude for a calendar first i went to disability school and from that moment on i wanted to have nothing to do with the martyrs anymore and then because i made this film nobody's perfect i was kind of forced to me. to make this film. i didn't want to look at myself. funny come on nobody's perfect change as. it changed how i look at myself. it changed the movement of my that's complete because the first lawyer

little fingers on. i didn't care what brand he was at all or if it was a she or he it didn't matter. it was just the most tremendous feeling my son. throwing back i worried a lot about how i was going to play ball with them i was going to maybe try teaching know what to call them teach them to play frisbee and teach them to throw or you know i mean all those things that you want to have a care if yours do. we don't have to have arms to be a father. you don't need arms to love. you don't you know arms to be there you don't mean arms to listen you don't need arms to be a father at all unfortunately too many fathers that have arms don't realize that. they were forget that that's true you just have to be there for him.

that surprised me. the tears i don't i'm not sad i'm just. as big he was a little that. i miss that little boy sometimes but that's not how life works right now is a normal regular person he's got the same regular personalities nothing really wrong about it and you just have to just after knowing you can't just judging by the way he looks what he brings and what he gives is much more so than anything. could bring you know he gives great you know fatherly advice is a great role model is a great person. and that's all you can ask. louise mason had been a single mother for ten years when she received a christmas card from an old boyfriend i've heard that louis haven't been very well

made for it with that we on. our member think i'm twenty eight years old divorced god a kid losing my hair gaining a gut no arms what a package and then i got to thinking you know i've got to change this that's how allen introduced himself to his future wife darlene who was sitting in the audience one day that conference was the first time i heard him speak and it actually believe you know it sounds corny but it was a life changing event for me i was in the process of. considering making a final decision about whether and happy marriage. i thought yeah right life is too short i have to make decisions for myself. i mean anybody that sees or for the first time missed that smile and just absolutely and i melted. i have friends who tell me that i smiled more the day of my wedding than they've ever seen me smile in my entire life and it was permanently glued there for days.
