He's such an awesome guy, any other person would probably let their disability get the best of them but this guy perseveres through everything and works so hard at everything.

He really should be an inspiration to everybody and just goes to show it really is a case of mind over matter.

Very touching article, really brightens you up to see people in such severe situations really making the best of it. The interview with Mr.Bitter is really inspiring.

Inspiring and heartwarming write-up,
Enjoy your time at the Lair Mr. Fink.
Curious that we spend more time congratulating people who have succeeded than encouraging people who have not. 파이팅! ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ"

My new favorite quote:

“Truly, I feel that these challenges have been presented to me for a reason. I really think that when bad things happen to us, we have two choices. We can either let those things harden our hearts and make us more cynical, less trusting people or we can learn from the difficulties that we are faced with and use them to make ourselves better, more loving, and more empathetic.” - Matthew "LookNoHands" Fink
Yeah, I'm 30+, have a wife, kids, play SCII and watch eSports... So?!

I'm glad that teamliquid is publicizing him as he was unknown to other people before thus the fundraisers were hard to set up

if you have passion for something, nothing will take you away from it no matter what

you truly are a remarkable person, matt

This should be what you read if you need motivation to play, cause if you don't wanna go play after reading this I don't know what will motivate you.

I must've been living under a rock because I had no idea about this guy. This is just so amazing and inspirational. I wonder how the IM guys reacted to Matthew when he went there to train(Sorry if it was in there somewhere and I missed it).
