Vishnu is a young boy at Divya Vidyalaya. He is almost completely blind, and today he participated in the sports day for children with various disabilities.

Vishnu as an individual can run very fast, however, due to his inability to see, he did not do as well as he could and should have. This happened due to something out of his control - his blindness. Hence, seeing him upset was very heartbreaking.

However, this occurrence brought about a sweet moment, in which one of Vishnu’s friends gave both of her medals to him to make him feel better :)

Again, this moment made me extremely grateful for everything that I have. As an individual, I am in no position to ever complain about anything, not after seeing these children go about their day-to-day lives, without a single complaint made…

Keep this in mind next time you find yourself complaining about things as little and irrelevant as not having enough money to buy the latest trainers.
