I lost my sight when I was four years old by falling off a box car in a freight
yard in Atlantic City and landing on my head.Now I am thirty two.I can vaguely
remember the brightness of sunshine and what color red is.It would be wonderful
to see again,but a calamity can do strange things to people.It occurred to me
the other day that I might not have come to love life as I do if I hadn't been
blind.I believe in life now.I am not so sure that I would have believed in it
so deeply,otherwise.I don't mean that I would prefer to go without my eyes.I
simply mean that the loss of them made me appreciate the more what I had
left.
  Life,I believe,asks a continuous series of adjustments to reality.The
more readily a person is able to make these adjustments,the more meaningful his
own private world becomes.The adjustment is never easy.I was bewildered and
afraid.But I was lucky.My parents and my teachers saw something in me--a
potential to live,you might call it--which I didn't see,and they made me want
to fight it out with blindness.
  The hardest lesson I had to learn was to believe in myself.That was basic.
If I hadn't been able to do that,I would have collapsed and become a chair
rocker on the front porch for the rest of my life.When I say belief in myself I
am not talking about simply the kind of self confidence that helps me down an
unfamiliar staircase alone.That is part of it.But I mean something bigger than
that:an assurance that I am,despite imperfections,a real,positive person;
that somewhere in the sweeping,intricate pattern of people there is a special
place where I can make myself fit.
  It took me years to discover and strengthen this assurance.It had to start
with the most elementary things.Once a man gave me an indoor baseball.I
thought he was mocking me and I was hurt."I can't use this." I said."Take it
with you," he urged me,"and roll it around." The words stuck in my head."Roll
it around!"By rolling the ball I could hear where it went.This gave me an idea
how to achieve a goal I had thought impossible:playing baseball.At
Philadelphia's Over* School for the Blind I invented a successful variation
of baseball.We called it ground ball.
  All my life I have set ahead of me a series of goals and then tried to
reach them,one at a time.I had to learn my limitations.It was no good to try
for something I knew at the start was wildly out of reach because that only
invited the bitterness of failure.I would fail sometimes anyway but on the
average I made progress.

我失去了我的视线,我四岁的时候掉下一箱车在货运
在大西洋城的院子里,降落在我的头上.现在,我32.我隐约
记得阳光和红色是什么颜色的亮度.这将是美好
再次看到,但灾难可以做奇怪的事情的人.它发生在我
前些天,我可能不会有像我一样热爱生活,如果我没有去过
盲目的.我相信,在现在的生活.我不是那么肯定,我会相信
这么深,否则.我不是说没有我的眼睛,我宁愿去.我
简单地说他们的损失让我更加珍惜我有什么
离开了.
  生活中,我相信,要求一系列连续的调整以适应现实.该
更容易一个人能够进行这些调整,他更有意义
成为自己的私人世界.调整从来都不是容易的.我却一脸茫然
害怕.但我很幸运.我的父母和我的老师,在我看到的东西 -
潜在的生活,你可能会调用它 - 我没有看到,他们让我想
打出来的盲目性.
  最难的一课,我必须学会相信自己.这是基本的.
如果我没有能够做到这一点,我会崩溃,成为一把椅子
前门廊的摇椅上半辈子.当我说我自己的信念
我不是在谈论简单的那种自信,帮助我
陌生的楼梯孤单.这是它的一部分.不过,我的意思是东西大于
说:我保证,尽管不完善的地方,一个真正的,积极的人;
人扫地,复杂的图案中的某处有一个特殊的
地方,我可以让自己适应.
  我花了多年探索和加强这种保证.它不得不开始
最起码的事情.从前有一个人给了我一个室内棒球.我
以为他是在嘲笑我,我受伤了.“我不能用这个.” 我说.“放心吧
你,“他劝我,”在地上滚.“的话,塞在我的头上.”滚
它周围!“通过滚动球,我能听到它去了哪里.这给了我一个想法
如何实现目标,我认为是不可能的:打棒球.在
费城的欧弗布鲁克盲人学校,我成功地发明了一种变化
棒球.我们称它为地面球.
  我所有的生活在我前面我已经设置了一系列目标,然后试图
达到这些目标,一次一个.我不得不学习我的局限性.这是没有很好的尝试
我知道在开始的东西却硬要去实现的目标,因为,只有
邀请失败的苦果.我有时会失败,但无论如何,对
一般我取得了进展.
