Stephan Hawking died yesterday. Bound to a wheelchair, he lived fifty years longer than expected
after being diagnosed with Lou Gehrig’s disease. More importantly, as his body continued to shutdown,
his brain unleashed. His contributions
to research in physics are remarkable.
But his biggest contribution to humankind might be the grace with which
he faced his utterly debilitating disease.
He gives us all hope that we might
flourish in the face of the worst hardship, in the face of our own demise.
Following are two quotes from Stephen
Hawking:
—“I believe things
cannot make themselves impossible.”
—“In my opinion,
there is no aspect of reality beyond the reach of the human mind.”
-- Mitchell
Hegman
