When you hear so many people complain that they can't do things 'cos they're ill, then you look at what Stephen Hawkings has done, despite all that life had thrown at him. He was an amazing man.
Stephen Hawking has left a huge legacy of knowledge for future generations to benefit from and to build on. In spite of such daunting physical obstacles he did not give up. Truly an inspiration to us all. RIP Stephen Hawking.
What a strong minded man he must have been to survive so long despite his illness. I'm sure most of us would have given up long ago. His theories into black holes and metaphysics in general was awe inspiring.
