A 10-year-old Jahmir Wallace from Phillipsburg, New Jersey, US, is really a special boy: not because he has no arms, but because he possesses great spirit, which leads him throughout his life and helps the boy to fulfill his dreams.
He was born without arms, so to make his musical dream come true he decided to take up the trumpet and learned to play it with his toes.
And as the video below shows, he’s become pretty good at it already.
‘My older sister used to play the piano, so I decided maybe I should try to play an instrument,’ he says.
Remembering the first note he ever played on the trumpet – just four months ago -, he adds: ‘I kind of felt excited. I kind of felt like, “Oh man, this is comfortable. This might be the one for me”.’
One observer said of Jahmir’s talent: ‘To see how he moves his toes like we move our fingers – it’s amazing.’
As for Jahmir’s message to others, he says: ‘Anybody out there who would like to try an instrument, go ahead and try it. You never know what will happen. If you like it, you like it. If you don’t, you don’t. Just keep on trying.’

He has just proven to you that it is not who you are that HOLDS you BACK, It is who you THINK you are NOT. And the reason he said that it's because it is always BETTER to fail in DOING something than to EXCEL at doing Nothing!
Success is NOT a matter of being the BEST and WINNING the RACE but of HANDLING the WORST and still FINISH the RACE!
Now, if you are on RIGHT path and you are NOT facing difficulties, then think for a while for you may be on WRONG path... Note that the RIGHT path ALWAYS contains difficulties!
Happy Sunday!!
