Some YBL members on stage singing one of their songs.

I was struck by the cheerful disposition of the YBL and AWWA members when I first met them. During the rehearsals we have had in the holidays, they have never failed to deliver their items with gusto and passion. The fact that they could maintain a positive outlook towards life despite their physical disabilities is admirable, considering that many of us often choose to wallow in despair when things do not go our way.

Perhaps we ought to learn from them the art of facing up to life's challenges.
