WHO SAID YOU CAN'T...?


JESSICA: THE FEMALE PILOT WITH NO ARMS – its
a true story!

Highly motivational and Inspirational True Stories
for your edification.

Don't limit your challenges - challenge your
limits...

STAND UP AND COME OUT OF THAT CHALLENGE!!

Happy Reading:
Born in 1983 in Sierra Vista, Arizona, USA, Jessica
has learned to live her life with her feet. Born
without arms and all doctors did not know why.

There were many questions at the time about
whether Jessica would be able to live a “normal”
life. However, Jessica’s father has said he never
shed a tear about her birth condition. He had full
confidence in her potential.
With the support of her parents and family, Jessica
became confident in herself as an adult and
continued to explore the world with her feet.

As a child, Jessica studied dance in her home
town. When the first performance arrived, she
asked to be put in the back row. Her dance
teacher told her there was no back row.

Tentatively she took the stage with the other
students and performed her routine.
When she finished, the applause from the audience
gave her encouragement and the confidence to
continue dancing for 14 years.
Jessica’s parents eventually met a Taekwondo
instructor named Jim Cunningham.

His response when told of her birth condition was
that she would be more than physically able and
that only her attitude could hold her back. At the
age of 14, Jessica earned her first Black Belt in the
International Taekwondo Federation.

After graduating from high school, Jessica
attended the University of Arizona where she
earned a bachelor’s degree in Psychology.
When talking about her degree, she frequently
explains that psychology credits the way people
think has a greater impact on their lives than a
physical limitation.

Jessica’s most famous accomplishment was
learning how to fly. It took three states, four
airplanes, two flight instructors and a discouraging
year to find the right aircraft: a 1946 415C
Ercoupe Airplane. She received the Guinness
World Record for being the first person certified to
fly an airplane with only their feet.
Jessica now works as a motivational speaker. She
travels the world sharing her story and
encouraging people to be creative and innovative
with the mantra “Think outside the shoe.”

Dear Reader,
if Jessica could make it, you have no excuse for
failure.
Don't let your challenges bar you from your
archievement.
So, the next time you are ready to tell yourself, “I
can’t…” remember this amazing young woman.

And made them stand 100 mtrs away. And announced that who ever reaches1st would get all the fruits in the basket. When he said ready steady go.. Do you know what these small children did? They all caught each other's hands and ran towards the tree together, divided the fruits among them and ate the fruits and enjoyed it. When the Anthropologist asked them why u did so? They said 'Ubuntu' meant 'How can 1 be happy when all the others are Sad'? Ubuntu in their language means 'I AM BCOZ, WE ARE!' Let's all of us carry this attitude and spread happiness.
