The Perks of being blind

[OnlinePoker]

Saw this on Reddit and thought I'd share. I don't know what it's from, but the guy has a good attitude. The last comment is outstanding.

1. He Could Be A Motivational Speaker

Teens normally have a bad attitude about something. They feel they are overly challenged and feel they are a failure and can't overcome their problems. Here this man not only overcomes many of his challenges but has a sense of humor about his blindness. It's helped him and I'll bet it could help others.

2. I wonder if he echo locates?

Here's an interesting podcast interviewing a guy who echo locates.
The Jan 23 Show.

4. That's charming.

I especially like "Every single woman I've ever been with is a 10".

My younger brother is blind. He lost his vision to diabetic retinopathy starting in 1999.
