An expression 254 00:13:42,879 --> 00:13:45,039 you hear a lot is something to the effect that 255 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:48,440 you can't have everything. It suggests a well, a kind 256 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:52,360 of responsible acceptance of life, I mean, not forever expecting 257 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:56,360 some miraculous good fortune. And most of us don't. There 258 00:13:56,399 --> 00:13:59,000 are certain youngsters who refuse to go along with that idea. 259 00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:03,039 Nearly every day they live, they experience miraculous good fortune. 260 00:14:03,639 --> 00:14:06,440 The youngsters I mean are the ones with cerebral palsy. 261 00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,960 The reason they experience wonderful good fortune so often is 262 00:14:10,039 --> 00:14:13,000 that to many of them, just being able to take 263 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:16,840 a step is kind of a miraculous good fortune.
