Have you ever come across something where interacting with it has radically changed your life? It could be a book, song, film, person or anything but the simple fact of involving yourself with it/them has changed your life.

For me it was a book, a quite well known book called DUNE by Frank Herbert. Reading that book changed my entire outlook on life. I began to look deeper into situations beyond the surface for the hidden facts. This perception has served me well both in education and private life. I have been told that i’m quite perceptive when it comes to solving problems and this puts me in a great position to give considered advice.

Reading DUNE also vastly widened my horizons. I began to think about things i’d never taken the time to stop and consider before and to some extent begin to appriciate the wider world around me and my place in it. It was this that for a large part gave me the (i like to think) personnel strength of charachter which has allowed me to cope with losing my hearing.

What’s changed your life?
