Superman, Part 2

I picked up this piece, Before accident and after, a hero, from this morning's Boston Globe (an excellent reader's paper, by the way). What struck me was this 1996 quote from Mr. Reeve. If only we were all so focused in living our lives on our own terms:

"I think that setting challenges is a great motivator because too many people with disabilities allow that to become the dominating factor in their lives, and I refuse to allow a disability to determine how I live my life. I don't mean to be reckless, but setting a goal that seems a bit daunting actually is very helpful toward recovery."
