Throughout a lifetime, every individual has the unique opportunity to make
choices that will ultimately determine the course of his/her life and how it
will impact others. During this week's live event of Books and Beyond, the
popular Internet talk show sponsored by the Accessible World, you will be
intrigued to learn how one man overcame a physical disability and much
prejudice to not only attain personal success in the education field but has
been successful in using all his talents and experiences to build a
meaningful network of support for others. As Hostess Bonnie Blose
Interviews Robert Acosta, President of Helping Hands for the Blind, you will
see how his entire life has been characterized by optimism, enthusiasm,
compassion for others, a vision for the future, preparation, courage,
perseverance and integrity. He epitomizes what life is all about. Finding
something you like, something you think you are good at, putting those two
things together, and then directing all your energies to attain that goal.
