A story is told of a man who had an accident, which affected his spinal cord. The doctors told him that he would never be able to walk again. For sometimes, he had been sitting on a wheelchair.
One-day, as he was sitting alone outside his house, he suddenly saw a baby crawling towards a ditch. He shouted for help, but nobody came. As the baby closely approached the ditch, the man jumped up out of his wheelchair, ran and picked the baby. It was then that he realized that he was standing.

Yes. Keep on moving forward.
