live example of positive attitude!
The man that you are seeing in the photo below is Rhushi Prasad
assistant professor in mechanical
department in an Engineering college.
In the year 2010,I had to go to thatcollege for examination
work My allotment letter had the name of Rhushi Prasad as my co- examiner .I had never met him before and So l some how
managed to get his mobile number.
I Started driving my car to reach that college,but when I was half way through I got confused about the road .So I called him and he said he will come with his car to take me to the college.
He came in his car and asked me to follow his car. I tried to follow the car in my car but he was driving the car like a race car driver! I started thinking that he must be a Strong man with good control over his legs, so that he can operate clutch, break and accelerator pedals at high speed to drive the car in such a way!
With difficulty I followed his car and reached
the college.
When he got down from his car, I was Surprised to see that his right leg was almost inactive! When I enquired about it I came to know the following interesting and heart touching facts.
He was ( and is!) a fan of car driving
He is diabetic and few months ago his right leg was cut, probably because of a wrong diagnosis.
He never lost his enthusiasm.He went for artificial dummy leg and he practiced walking for 2 months .
But it was impossible to drive the car
with that artificial leg. But his zeal for driving car never stopped . With his mechanical engineering Knowledge, he modified his car such that the
break was operated by left hand as shown in Fig the accelerator was modified like a motor bike and that also is the work of left hand! Right hand is used only for steering the car!
 |
Break pedal is operated by the lever by left hand.
 |
Accelerator is modified like a 2 wheeler, rotating type, operated by left hand and wrist
|
I was almost in tears but he showed all these things to me with a smile on his face as if nothing had happened!
He was doing PhD in the field of solar energy and was about to get his doctorate in about six months. He is very active in arranging seminars, exhibitions etc in his college.
We will make a big issue when we get a Small Scratch on our skin or dent on our vehicle but real achievers will steer through the difficulties and reach the goal without caring for losses! THIS IS THE REAL POSITIVE ATTITUDE!
