The opportunity of adversity The thesaurus might equate "disabled" with synonyms like "useless" and "mutilated," but ground-breaking runner Aimee Mullins is out to redefine the word. Defying these associations, she shows how adversity — in her case, being born without shinbones — actually opens the door for human potential. A record-breaker at the Paralympic Games in 1996, Aimee Mullins has built a career as a model, actor and advocate for women, sports and the next generation of prosthetics.

Aimee Mullins: Aimee Mullins: Nedaća kao prilika Rječnik sinonima može izjednačavati "onesposobljen" sa sinonimima poput "beskoristan" i "obogaljen", ali inovativna trkačica Aimee Mullins namjerava redefinirati tu riječ. Prkoseći ovakvom pristupu, ona pokazuje kako nedaća - u njenom slučaju, rodivši se bez cjevanica - zapravo otvara vrata ljudskom potencijalu.
