An obstetrician faints after he takes the baby out of his
mother’s belly. A young man surfs beyond the breakers,
with his crutches supporting him on the board. More than
a hundred musicians from a samba school watch in silence
as a guy in a wheelchair, who wants to be part of the drum
section, takes the test. A street musician touches people
when he sings ‘I Believe I Can Fly’ on weekends at Paulista
Avenue. Benny, the mascot of the Chicago Bulls basketball
team, puts his mask on a disabled spectator, to the delight
of the entire arena. A grown man, lawyer, and father of two
has butterfl ies in his stomach as he faces the crowd in his
fi rst speech as a motivational speaker.
What brings these episodes together? Born without
arms or legs due to an extremely rare disability, Hanhart
Syndrome, these are scenes from the incredible life journey
of Marcos Rossi, described vividly and with good humor
in this book, What is Impossible for You?.
With the candor that only the courageous possess, Marcos
shares with us the circumstances of each one of the
conquests he had reached in his daily search to overcome
challenges and limits (both our own as well as the ones that
we impose on ourselves) without any self-pity or playing
the victim. He teaches us not to carry frustrations or sadness
out to the following day. His story shows us that it is
required never to give up our dreams.
In the end, there’s one thing that will be really impossible
for you: remain the same after reading this book.
