Tony Melendez

A thalidomide baby, Tony was born without arms because his mother was prescribed thalidomide a drug used to help calm morning sickness during her pregnancy. He was brought to the Los Angeles area from Nicaragua to be fitted with artificial arms. He wore them until he was ten, when he disposed of them. “I didn’t feel comfortable,” he explains, “I could use my feet so much more.”

I felt deeply ashamed after seeing the video and reading his biography. Deeply.

The truth is, you and I, we are capable of so much more. How many of us are fully tapping our potential? How many of us are truly pursuing a dream, not of materialism or personal gratification, but to make good out of something?

Do we even have a dream?
