You have to prove the world who you are. Your (learning) disability is not a matter at all. Every normal human being cannot do all the things. Those who play well may not good at reading. Those who read well may not good at cooking. I am not telling you about what they cannot do. I am telling you about what they can do even they cannot do something. So, you can do something even you have a (learning) disability. Try everything and know what you can do. Keep doing what you can and become an expert of it. If you do this rightly, people may need your help and support. You can be an active participant in the society.”
