He was out of breath while knowing he lost his eyesight as well as 70% of this hearing.
In other words, he was disabled.
Feeling clumsy, he was annoyed at first though nobody made fun of him.
He cut out going outdoors and
just sat around at home talking to his parrot or tortoise silently.
His sister resigned to help him in many ways.
Her assistance and encouragement were so beneficial to his psychology that
he adapted to his disability soon and became outgoing again.
In a college accessible to him, he studied politics and literature.
He always sat in the front row near the entry without any absence and,
with the help of his handy laptop, he studied well by means of dictation.
His thesis, Abolishing Slavery, met with all professors' approval.

which was noisy but suitable for his hearing.
After graduation, he made high profits by designing software for a firm.

He always wished all the best to his disabled fellows and encouraged them,
"Never mind! All you have is adequate to get your achievement."
