Although, to me, they are just measures of your ability at a stipulated point of time, they have now become meaningful. The process of working for it is just damn fun.
The Diving Bell And The Butterfly, by Jean-Dominique Bauby. An autobiography recalling his recollections, recording his very thoughts. A former editor of the ELLE magazine, Bauby was struck down with a stroke, resulting in the "Locked-in syndrome", was trapped within a diving bell, with no other ways of comminication save his left eyelid. But with this protective skin, wrote a 139-page long book recording the thoughts in his mind. Like a butterfly, he was free from physical bondage, unbound from bed-riddance, explores the ends of imagination and timeless hope. A book showcasing jadedness of human existence, rich in hope for the disabled, yet nonlacking in on its timeless message of hope, love, and the will to live - the efforts, determination, and perserverance of he and the team is nonpareil. Albeit his seemingly hopeless condition, this book is saturated with torrid passion for life.
