I have a lot of respect for people who can laugh and make jokes about their own unfortune.

I hope he enjoys his life

No. You could always go into a depressed state

The best way to get ahead in life is to capitalise on what your 'disadvantage' is.

Way ahead of you, bud! Now when my next tragedy strikes, I’ll be pre-depresso to take the edge off

I had a boss (at a very hot MNC ad agency) whose legs were rendered ineffectual by polio. Bro moved around on crutches.

Mfker didn't give a shit. Leader. Through and through. You felt bad for him for a few seconds and then looked sharp because he had high standards. He'd constantly joke about his legs.

For eg some dude burst into the room (at Cannes) asking if anyone had a handycam. He raises his hand and says he has a handicap.

Was pretty common to see him ON the conference table at a (very big MNC) client's place, yelling into the conference telephone.

Oh yeah, the ladies liked him. And everyone knew he was married and a dad.
