Implicit in this phrase of "overcoming adversity" is the idea that success, or happiness, is about emerging on the other side of a challenging experience unscathed or unmarked by the experience, as if my successes in life have come about from an ability to sidestep or circumnavigate the presumed pitfalls of a life with prosthetics, or what other people perceive as my disability.
Ovaj termin u sebi sadrži poimanje uspjeha ili sreće, kao prolaz kroz izazovno iskustvo koje ne ostavlja trag i ožiljke, i da li je moj uspjeh pronikao iz sposobnosti da zaobiđem poteškoće u životu uz pomoć proteza, ili je rezultat onog što se smatralo mojim nedostatkom.
