MOTIVATIONAL MONDAY: WHAT'S YOUR EXCUSE?

In 1976, when Claudio Vieira de Oliveira was born in Bahia, Brazil, with his head upsidedown, his hands and legs severely deformed and his joints fused together, doctors told his mother to starve him to death.
She ignored their advice and nurtured him till Oliveira came up with ways of overcoming life's challenges. He learned to use a pen with his mouth to type words and also use a computer mouse or a phone with the help of his lips.

He gained admission to study Accountancy at the...
State University of Feira de Santana, Brazil, and successfully qualified as a chartered accountant.

In 2016, at the age of 40, he wrote his first book, ''El Mundo Esta a Contramano'' (The World is the Wrong Way Around) with his lips.
Although Oliveria cannot use a wheelchair because of his unusual shape and walks on his knees, he always tries to adapt his body to different situations and feels like a ''normal person''.

What's your excuse?
