This speech is so inspiring, it’s a must watch…but here are some of the major things he (You know Cobhams Asuquo, don’t you?) said.
Songwriter and Music producer Cobhams Asuquo says “sight is sometimes a distraction”, adding
that “it is not easy living as a sightless person in a world designed
for people with sight”.
Cobhams who has never experienced sight, stated this while giving a speech at a TEDx Euston conference that held recently.
“I was born blind, no one else
in my family of six is blind…I wasn’t aware that I was without sight
until later years” he narrated.
Sharing the lessons he has learnt from being blind in his inspirational
message, he explained how he overcame the challenges to stand out
today.
“Sight is a precious gift but on your way to your destination, you have
to be blind to achieve certain things in life…blind in the sense
there are certain things you should close your eyes to” he explained.
