A

(2020·山东济南调研)Too often in life，we focus on the things we cannot do.Sometimes we cannot do things because of financial limitations，health limitations，family limitations，educational limitations，and so on.Sometimes，we end up limiting ourselves from achieving success in reaching our goals.We end up having a negative attitude which limits our ability to achieve success and happiness in our life.

Through the Internet，I have recently met an individual whom I found to be very inspiring.He has a positive attitude；he focuses on what he can do.To name a few of his accomplishments：he has set a world record，and is in the Guinness Book of World Records；he is an international poet with over 900 publications；he is an advocate for the disabled；he is the founder of Beyond Limitations Week；he is an ambassador for the Harvey Ball World Smile Foundation；he has created his own website—http：//wheelierecord.Tripod.corn/ index，html.And the list could go on!

The individual is Robert M．Hensel.You see，Robert was born spina bifida，a disability that affects the sense of balance and also has an impact on the kidneys.Robert could have easily used his disability to limit his achievements，yet he has accomplished more than many.His attitude to life is one that，for me，is inspiring！To quote Robert，“I have learned that limitations open doors that have been closed，showing other ways to meet our needs.Now I look beyond what I can’t do and focus on what I can.”

Let Robert be a reminder for changing e his motto of not

focusing on what you can’t do，but focus on what you can do!
