When Helen was born, she was a normal baby. She could see, hear, and babbling. However, a disease turned her into a blind and deaf mute - she was only 19 months old at the time.

The drastic physiological changes caused little Helen's temperament to change drastically. If she didn't like it, she would roll on the ground and scream, becoming a "little tyrant". In despair, her parents sent her to a school for the blind in Boston and hired a teacher to take care of her.

Fortunately, little Helen met a great angel of light - Ms. Anne Sullivan. Sullivan was also a woman with an unfortunate experience. When she was 10 years old, she and her younger brother were sent to a Massachusetts orphanage. Due to the shortage of rooms, the siblings had to live in the morgue where the corpses were placed. In extremely poor conditions, the younger brother died six months later. She also suffered from an eye disease at the age of 14 and was almost blind. Later, she was sent to Perkins School for the Blind and became Helen's tutor.

From then on, Ms. Sullivan's struggle with the girl who suffered triple pain began. You have to teach her how to wash your face, comb your hair, and eat with a knife and fork while fighting with her. The stubborn Helen rebelled against the strict education by crying and screaming. Eventually, however, Ms. Sullivan succeeded within a month. How did she successfully communicate with Helen?

The answer is this: the tools for self-success and reshaping your destiny are the same - confidence and love.

Concerning this matter, there is a touching and profound description in the book "My Life" written by Helen Keller: A young man who regained his sight without much "teaching experience" will Incomparable love and amazing confidence were poured into a little girl who was completely deaf and mute - first through subconscious communication and physical contact, a bridge was built for their souls. Then, self-confidence and self-love emerged in little Helen's heart, liberating her from the hell of pain and loneliness. Through self-strengthening, she unleashed the infinite energy of her subconscious and moved towards the light.

That’s it: the two joined hands, heart to heart, using love and confidence as the “prescription”, and after a period of struggle that was inhumane, they awakened Helen’s dormant consciousness. It is difficult to describe in writing the touching scene when a girl who is deaf, mute and blind realizes the joy of language for the first time. Helen once wrote: "On the night when I first realized the existence of language, I was lying in bed, so excited. That was the first time I hoped for the dawn - I don't think anyone else can feel my joy at that time. . ”

Still blind, Helen learned to communicate with the outside world through touch—fingertips instead of eyes and ears. A little over 10 years old, her name has spread throughout the United States and she has become a role model for people with disabilities.

May 8, 1893, was Helen’s happiest day. It was also a memorable day for Dr. Bell, the inventor of the telephone. Dr. Bell, a successful man, established his famous International Deaf Education Foundation on this day, and it was 13-year-old Helen who laid the foundation stone for the foundation.

After little Helen became famous, she was not complacent. She continued to receive education diligently. In 1900, this 20-year-old girl who learned finger grammar, embossing and pronunciation, and gained knowledge beyond ordinary people through these means, entered Radcliffe College of Harvard University to study. The first words she said were: "I am no longer mute!" Four years later, she graduated with honors as the first blind and deaf-mute person in the world to receive a university education.

Helen not only learned to speak. I also learned how to use a typewriter to write books and manuscripts. Although she is blind, she has read more books than people with normal vision. Moreover, she has written 7 books and appreciates music better than "normal people".

Helen's sense of touch is extremely keen. She can know what the other person is saying just by gently placing her fingers on the other person's lips; she can "appreciate" it by placing her hand on the wooden parts of pianos and violins. "music. She can identify sounds through the vibrations of radios and speakers, and can "listen to songs" by gently touching the other person's throat with her fingers.

If you shake hands with Helen Keller, when you meet again and shake hands 5 years later, she will be able to recognize you by shaking hands and know that you are beautiful, strong and frail. , funny, cheerful, or grouchy.

The deeds of this "life-maker" who overcame disabilities that are "insurmountable" to ordinary people have aroused shock and admiration around the world.

The year she graduated from college, people established "Helen Keller Day" at the St. Louis Fair. She is always full of confidence and enthusiasm for life. She enjoyed swimming, boating, and riding horses in the woods. She likes to play chess and tell fortunes with playing cards; on rainy days, she kills time by knitting.

With her strong belief, Helen Keller finally defeated herself and reflected her own value. Her achievements are greater than those of rich people and political figures.

After World War II, she toured Europe, Asia, and Africa giving lectures, arousing the public's attention to people with physical disabilities. She was praised by the Encyclopedia Britannica as the most influential person with disabilities in history. A representative figure of achievement.

American writer Mark Twain commented: In the 19th century, the most noteworthy figures were Napoleon and Helen Keller.
