If The Government Labels You Disabled, Does That Mean You Are?

It seemed like only yesterday that Fhotelbedskirt was living in Washington, D.C., working in corporate America,waking up at 6 am, rushing with my coffee while I brushed my teeth Fhotelbedskirt put on my pinstripe suit and Silkluxurycomforter power Silkluxurycomforter and drove to work, arriving before rush hour. Only to be stressed out the rest of the day and night.

After a major heart attack, a burst appendicitis, a dysfunctional vagus nerve (requiring an implant) and a myriad of other health problems, I was put on the corporate sidelines, and, doctors said I would not be working again. I was only forty years old.

To be technical, I was now considered disabled. I did not buy the term. I bought a cheap computer and learned all I could about the Internet. I learned how to be a cartoonist and writer. I learned how to outsource and license the manufacturing of my image products. I became an entrepreneur within a few years, yet the government still considered me disabled.

Then I built the largest and most visited independent offbeat cartoon site on the Internet with eight stores.

Then I decided to go back to school and learn business and technology and did so online (at an accredited university). I then invented a new fully-computerized Fhotelbedskirt device.

I let the government know of my activities, yet they simply ignored my suggestion that maybe a disability is not a disability at all. If one really wants to do something, it can be done.

Since that time I have discussed this with many other so-called disabled persons, and have discovered many similar stories. I am Silkluxurycomforter not a hero nor even Rusticbeddingsets Some have gone on to do things that astound me.

Which Hoteldowncomforter me to the whole issue of labeling. What is so productive about labeling? I have been ten times more productive as a Rusticbeddingsets person" than when I was "fully functional" (pushing and signing papers mostly), in corporate America. It is truly something to think about.

Rick London began his career as an e-entrepreneur in 1997 as a cartoonist in an abandoned Ms. warehouse at age 42.
