It&#8217;s been said that if you want to succeed in corporate management, you have to be a problem-solver. After all, problems arise in any business venture, and while lots of lesser managers will call attention to the problems, place blame, and make excuses, if you&#8217;re the one who immediately shifts from dwelling [...]]]></description>

Don&#8217;t you hate it when people talk behind your back about your disability – especially when they&#8217;re completely honest and sincere, and only tell the truth?
I mean, I really don&#8217;t mind when my friends, family, and colleagues talk about my disability behind my back with others – but, I just don&#8217;t want [...]]]></description>

By Mark E. Smith
It seems like a never-ending debate in disability culture: Which forms of disabilities prove “easier” or “harder” to cope with, life-long or later-in-life, static or progressive? For example, I’ve heard some who received later-in-life, progressive disabilities say that those with life-long disabilities have had the opportunity of experiencing disability their entire lives, [...]]]></description>

How have you chosen to view your disability, and how&#8217;s that working for you?
This provocative question came to mind recently when I spoke with a family facing disability. The wife was in her 50s, with multiple sclerosis, and she shared with me that her progressive condition has single-handedly destroyed her life. “M.S. [...]]]></description>

I recently finished reading a new report on the state of those living with disabilities in America, funded by the United Cerebral Palsy Association. And, the portrait that the report paints of our lives is grim:
Those with disabilities are one-half as likely to have completed high school, and only one-third as likely [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve been reading posts on the WheelchairJunkie message board by users asserting their rights to use their wheelchairs along the shoulders of roadways, as “pedestrians” – and it reads to me as a troubling argument, where based on pedestrian accident statistics and remaining social barriers of inaccessible sidewalks and transit systems, we [...]]]></description>

Tom Wolfe, author of Bonfire of the Vanities and The Right Stuff, is a true American original, only wearing identical white suits. From a personal branding perspective as a writer, it&#8217;s brilliant – he&#8217;s trademarked his image as entirely distinctive, where no matter if you see him on television or in the [...]]]></description>

An acquaintance recently emailed me a “day-in-the-life-of-a-disabled-person” video. Of course, I watched the video, and what I saw was a gentlemen with a severe disability getting himself up in the morning – bathing, shaving, and dressing, then catching a bus to work. Then, in the second half of the  video he [...]]]></description>
