Blink

I read a book yesterday called, "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly" which is the story of the editor-in-chief of French Elle magazine, Jean Dominique Bauby. Well, he was the editor until 1995, when at 43 years of age, he had a massive stroke. At that time he became a person classified as having "locked-in syndrome," which is possibly the worst thing imaginable for a person to have. The only part of his body that he could move was his left eye. He wrote this book by blinking when his typist got to the letter he wanted. For example: she would say E...S...A... saying the letters of the alphabet, not in the order we learned them, ABC..., but rather in an order determined by their frequency of use in the French language. When she said the letter he wanted, he would blink and she would write it down. Can you imagine how long it took for him to write a 132 page book?
It gives the word Blink, a whole new meaning.
It is worth reading. It is worth changing the way you look at life. It is worth changing the way you live your life.
