A Disaster  Makes a Strong Person
I lost my sight when I was four years old by falling off a box car in a freight（貨物）yard in Atlantic City and landing on my head. Now I am thirty-two. I can still   36   the brightness of sunshine. It would be   37   to see again, but a   38   can do strange things to people. I don’t mean that I would prefer to go without my eyes. I simply mean that the   39   of them made me   40   the more what I had.
Life, I believe, asks a continuous series of adjustments to reality. The more quickly a person is able to make these adjustments, the more   41   his own private world becomes. The adjustment is never   42  . I was totally confused and afraid. But I was lucky. My parents and my teachers saw something in me—the   43   to live—which I didn’t see, and they made me want to   44   against blindness.
The hardest   45   I had to learn was to believe in myself. I am not talking about simply the kind of   46   that helps me down an unfamiliar staircase alone. That is part of it. But I mean something bigger than that: the confidence that I am, despite being imperfect, a real,   47   person; that there is a special place where I can make myself fit.
It took me years to discover and   48   this confidence. It had to start with the simplest things. Once a man gave me an indoor baseball. I thought he was making fun of me and I was hurt. “I can’t use this.” I said. “Take it with you,” he   49   me, “and roll it around.” The words   50   in my head. “Roll it around!” By rolling the ball I could hear where it went. This gave me an idea how to achieve a goal I had thought   51  : playing baseball. At Philadelphia’s Overbrook School for the Blind I   52   a successful variation of baseball and I called it ground ball.
All my life I have set ahead of me a series of goals and then tried to reach them, one at a time. I had to be clear about my   53  . It was no good trying for something that I knew at the start was wildly out of reach   54   that only invited the bitterness of failure. I would   55  sometimes anyway but on the average I made progress.
