Piano Solo by Chinese Girl with Missing Fingers
A young Chinese girl plays "Souvenir D'enfance" by Richard Clayderman on the piano for a television show. Despite a disability - no fingers on her right arm, the girl plays the entire song beautifully. The description on YouTube states that she's only been playing the piano for three years, which makes this even more awesome and inspirational.

life lessons from a blind boy
A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He
held up a sign which said: "I am blind, please help."
There were only a few coins in the hat. A business man was walking by.
He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He
then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the
sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words. Soon
the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the
blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see
how things were.
The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, "Were you the one who
changed my sign this morning? What did you write?"
The man said, "I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a
different way."
I wrote, "Today is a beautiful day but I cannot see it."
Both signs told people that the boy was blind. But the first sign
simply said the boy was blind. The second sign told people that they
were so lucky that they were not blind.
Should we be surprised that the second sign was more effective?
Moral of the Story:
Be thankful for what you have. Be creative. Be innovative. Think
differently and positively. When life gives you a 100 reasons to cry,
show life that you have 1000 reasons to smile.
Face your past without regret. Handle your present with confidence.
Prepare for the future without fear. The most beautiful thing is to
see a person smiling... and even more beautiful, is knowing that you
are the reason behind it!

Microsoft: technically but completely useless answers
A helicopter was flying around above Seattle when an electrical
malfunction disabled all of the aircraft's electronic navigation and
communications equipment.
malfunction disabled all of the aircraft's electronic navigation and
communications equipment.
Due to the clouds and haze, the pilot could not determine the
helicopter's position. The pilot saw a tall building, flew toward it,
circled, and held up a handwritten sign that said "WHERE AM I?" in
large letters. People in the tall building quickly responded to the
aircraft, drew a large sign, and held it in a building window. Their
sign said "YOU ARE IN A HELICOPTER."
The pilot smiled, waved, looked at his map, determined the course to
steer to SEATAC airport, and landed safely. After they were on the
ground, the copilot asked the pilot how he had done it.
"I knew it had to be the Microsoft Building, because they gave me a
technically correct but completely useless answer."
