We are talking about encouragement. Carl Joseph was an exceptional athlete for his Florida high school. In fact, he earned thirteen varsity letters in football, basketball, and track. He stands six feet tall, weighs 180 pounds, and can jump six feet high, stuff a basketball, and throw the shot--put. Not bad for a young man with only one leg. Carl attributes his phenomenal success to the encouragement of his mother. She told him early in his life that the biggest handicap he would face was other people telling him what he could not do.
