Have a disability or medical condition? You are not alone. A disability is often used to refer to individual functioning, including physical impairment, sensory impairment, cognitive impairment, intellectual impairment, mental illness, and various types of chronic diseases.

Many people with disabilities have not only overcame their difficult situation, but also contributed to society. These include regular people and famous ones such as actors, actresses, celebrities, singers, world leaders, and many other famous people. Take a look at these two examples:

Marla Runyan was one of the women representing the Unites States in the 1500 metre track event at the 2000 Olympics. The American runner finished seventh in her preliminary heat and rose to sixth in the semifinals to qualify for the finals. During the final race, Marla lost track of the major competitors. She finished in eighth position, 3.20 seconds behind the gold medal winner. In 1996, Marla set several track and field records at the Paralympics in Atlanta, Georgia. Following that success, Marla wanted to compete in the 2000 Olympics in Sydney -- even though she is legally blind. The 31-year-old runner has been diagnosed with Stargardt disease.

In search of beauty

Is it possible to measure beauty? Well, the ancient Greeks believed that all beauty could be explained with math. They used a system to find what they called the “Golden Ratio.” They found this measurement by drawing likes between key points of an object and making calculations. They believed that all beautiful things share the same ratio of 1:1.618 – flowers, buildings, objects, and of course people.

This idea is still popular today. Dr. Stephen Marquardt of the UCLA Medical Center carefully measured thousands of faces and was able to produce a “universal beauty mask” based on the golden ratio. How closely the mask fits in your face can show how beautiful you are.
