Even though this man is blind, he paints.  Well.  Bet­ter than most people who have sight.  Through this struggle he has found him­self and when you watch this clip listen to the part where he said that he tried it with noth­ing to loose.  In his jour­ney, he learned that to cre­ate art involves a total allow­ance for fail­ure.  One must be able to risk the paint­ing going astray, and either ignore that risk, learn to use the fear to drive you onwards, or; as this guy does; be blind to it.  Lit­er­ally and figuratively.

More than being an artist, he clearly shows that with the cour­age to pick your­self up of the floor: any­thing is possible.
