Au contraire, one of my best friends is an extremely disabled attorney who keeps on truckin’ even though she could easily just get on disability and do nothing. I find her very courageous. She is also hard working and brilliant. She drags her broken body to court, on and off airplanes, to see clients...
He may well be inspirational, but if you say that to his face you are being a jerk.
Trust me on this. :-)
