When talking about the famous disabled people the first name
that comes to the mind is that of the great Albert Einstein.

century and the greatest physicist of all time had a learning
disability in the early parts of his life.
Till the age of three he could not speak and was severely
dyslexic and autistic. As he grew older he started to focus on
the only thing he was exceptional at and that was mathematics. Soon he fought his
disability and entered into the world of theoretical physics where he changed the face
of physics and science forever.
He spent most of his life working on theology, philosophy and history but he became
blind at the age of 43.
It was after he became blind he wrote what is called one the masterpieces of English
literature THE PARADISE LOST.
The fact that John Milton did not allow his blindness to stop him from writing poems
and that he wrote his finest poems during his blindness makes him one of the most
admirable disabled people of the world.

is the reason why we are using bulbs today.
