The Wonder of Adaptation


The other day I came across the story of Daniel Kish and I was just blown away. If you're not familiar, Daniel was born with a rare form of cancer that caused him to completely lose his eyesight by the time he was 13 months old. As a baby, he started making clicking noises to explore his environment by listening to the echo. As an adult, his skill of echolocation is so refined that he can ride his bike in traffic and describe his surroundings in detail. He now teaches echolocation to the blind all over the world and has changed many peoples lives as a result.

Isn't life incredible?

Have an inspiring Weekend!

  1. I would like to spend a day just observing how he gets around and interacts with his surroundings. It's really cool.
