After hearing about it, I just had to rewatch this jewel again. His story is definitely one of the most inspiring, and he himsel is ironically the strongest person in the modern day. I pity his situation, but I bet the man didn't even need it cuz he was achieving more than most of us. Rest in peace.
Even when he's in an iron lung, he - graduated high school with honors - graduated college - became a lawyer and wrote an entire book with a pen on a stick, one letter at a time....gotta admire his dedication and unwillingness to give up. He's not just any legend, he's THE legend. If you can dream it, you can do it.
Yes we can do ANYTHING if we really want to. This legend did all of this wile being like this. This should be motivational we that can breath walk move our body always wining avout stuff we need to start working hard and be yhankful for what we have
@@I_WANT_MY_SLAW First off when I comment this I’m not trying to start a fight but polio was way way more deadly than COVID 19. Secondly, it’s a persons choice what is put in their bodies. And by the way, I’m not an anti vaccine person so don’t come at me.
He has sadly passed away peacefully at the age of 78… finally freed from the cruelty polio put him through. Rest in peace Paul, his story was truly inspirational
This man wrote a book with his mouth. That hit me. I see normal people everyday bitching about stuff or how they have bad luck or how stuff isnt working out. Myself included. Incredible story
Different people with different situations bro, just because someone is worse off doesn't mean other people's problems in their lives aren't affecting them, just remember that. Were all different.
He said somewhere hung on kids to life, faith, hope, to God and to love for others, it gets rough kids sometimes but then it gets better too, life is beautiful.
Remember your true form is your soul. Your body is just a suit. You are put here on earth for a purpose. Either there is something you have to do or there is a lesson for you to learn. In the end when you die, your soul goes back home.

He says he wants to defeat Polio, but he's already beat it a thousand times over. He says he wants to inspire thousands of people, and he's inspired millions. I'm in awe.
A struggle is still a struggle, you can still feel sad and cry about it. But the main thing here is to not give up and not let it get to you so easily. Because well, if it's possible for him while being a cripple then we can also surely get through our struggles in life too.
@@kostas_geo9720 He still needs the Iron Lung for most of the day or at the very least to sleep in it, as sad as it is, it would be very hard to travel with it.

This man is the most Determined person to ever live and should be in a history book, to help inspire other people like you and me to never give up, no matter the cost.
This man wasn't able to use his body, but was able to go to college, become a lawyer, and write a book using only his mouth. Paul is truly extraordinary. God bless him. I hope he lives a long and happy life filled with joy and love.
yesterday on news.. he, died. i cried so hard saying to myself why god?! i and everyone here loves you living the longest in here. is courageful sentences really touched my beloved heart. it is filled with Paul now. we love you, and rise high! 😭❤❤
I hate seeing people suffer like this. Look how genuinely good of a person he is, but underneath all that is decades of pain, unfathomable amounts of suffering. If you ever happen to read this comment, I hope God gives you all the mansions, all the endless happiness you deserve once you reach him. Ill pray for you, stay strong, you certainly made me stronger.
This man is the strongest guy I’ve ever seen. If I was in that situation I would’ve given up straight away but this truly inspiring person has written a book, become a lawyer and has lived a good life all while fighting polio.
As I watched videos on TikTok, there's this one video that says that Paul Alexander just passed away, and as soon as I knew it, I went to this video that I used to watch every time I was breaking down or life just seemed so hard to me. I can't believe after 2 years I am going to watch this and comment on this video again.😞Mr. Paul Alexander is such an inspiration to many. Thank you for inspiring me and helping me cope with my problems with your amazing story. RIP Sir🕊️🕊️
I was about to comment saying “that’s no way to live a life” then they say he’s a lawyer “well shit, he’s doing better than me” the will of some people is just amazing.
Fr like I would want them to turn it off if would be in his position because I can't think about an life without walking past the streets, meeting friends at a Cafe, having parties, going to school, hugging and being with my parents and basically just spending time with the people that I love and care about. But I am so stunned and happy for him that he is still alive and not giving up.
His body may be disabled, but his mind and spirit are unbreakable. Nothing can hold him back because he won’t let it. That’s what true success looks like. It’s not something that can be bought with money.
Im thinking suicidee right Now i have cronic pain disseases... Live in cronic pain all day 24 HOURS imagine beingl young diag with terrible dissease?? Im dont have any help lost all dont have 10$$ dollars NOTHING suffering discrimination imagine living that?? I meed help even asking help dont have more powert to do Can we talk on fb or Whatsapp Pleasee help me 😭
One of the greatest achievements and one of the greatest humans to have ever lived, without any doubt, truly humbled and inspired by this beautiful man
When he said people didn't liked him very much & felt uncomfortable around him, I cried.Who would not like such a strong fighter? He taught us so much when he said he won't let polio defeat him,instead he'll defeat polio.I salute you Paul, you are an angel in disguise.
This man is so freaking underrated, he literally wrote a whole book with his mouth using, a pencil, rubber band, and a stick. It makes me wonder wth am I doing wrong
It's probably the fact that having the luxury of feeling "immortal" (young, good health) and being able to move freely dissipates our focus compared to this man.
True. But all people are different. And everyone goes through different struggles. Good to admire others. But always live your own life to your own standards and expectations.
At least he won't be stuck in a machine, not being able to move or do anything. I'd say death would put him at peace. I don't want him to die, but you can understand my point.
@@cryptidian3530 I see him in peace. He has been doing a lot of thinks, studying,painting, he's a living book so he wrote his story, not many people can do it. When he feels he wanna rest,ok then,but if he want to live and have fun with his hobbies let him enjoy life.
I feel bad for him.. He sounds like a wonderful man... He didn't deserve to loose his arms, legs. Lets all send love to Paul for being a wonderful, joyful human being! 🥺🍪🌹🧸🐻
@Ryan Crawmer You missed his point then brother. I understand what you mean. If my physical body was mostly taken from me I’d feel like that too. And I’m sure he did for awhile. But we are a brain in an organic robot body. We are a soul. We are much more than just a body. That’s his point.
Agreed but this doesnt mean you arent allowed to be upset. These days adults often make the mistake by saying their child has no reason to be upset because they provide them with a roof and food which makes them feel that their problems shouldnt matter. It invalidates their feelings and that's not good. It's good to remember that people do have it really bad and worse than you because it's what keeps you human. Empathy for others and yourself. You matter, and so do others. So treat others how you'd want to be treated, help them when they need you and let them help you. Thank you and have a good day:)

“Paul may have an iron lung but he has a golden soul and a diamond heart”. That part would make all of my family cry
Hell it made me cry :((
Plus an iron will!
I scrolled down and saw this comment and then the video said the exact same words
But that part is amazing and I like it
That's made me cry💔
🙏
He says he wants to defeat Polio, but he's already beat it a thousand times over. He says he wants to inspire thousands of people, and he's inspired millions. I'm in awe.
Damn this just made me me rethink all the struggles in my life. They are nothing compared to what this man has gone through.
Very true
same .. I've been struggling with insomnia for a week .. it's nothing compared to what he went through
We are all blessed lets keep moving forward guys and live for the ones that cant 🙏
@@Rhetzelle Same here!
A struggle is still a struggle, you can still feel sad and cry about it. But the main thing here is to not give up and not let it get to you so easily. Because well, if it's possible for him while being a cripple then we can also surely get through our struggles in life too.
I don't think I have ever seen a person that is more determined. This man deserves all the respect he gets and much more
Dude technology needs to advance quickly so that Paul can get a synthetic lung and travel the world. Paul deserves it.
hes paralyzed from the neck down... he needs more than a synthetic lung
@@HDIceWatch a chair is enough so that someone can move him around
@@HDIceWatch he could travel with a caretaker
@@kostas_geo9720 He still needs the Iron Lung for most of the day or at the very least to sleep in it, as sad as it is, it would be very hard to travel with it.
I think that Paul would be more happy moving around. But overall a care taker would be best
Dear God
I will never complain about my life ever again.
Yes Hannah
Let us not do that again
Im sorry if this sounds mean
But i realky wanted to know
That is it his head and he got no body? Or he has a body but he needs to be in themachine ? Whoever answers me god bless u
@@SyariqulAlif His whole body is in there because his lungs cannot function without it.
Jesus is God 🦁

Prayers for Paul!
Yes

I will pray for paul
See this is why people should understand why getting covid would pretty suck for ya just like that poor dude
Amen❤️
He's just passed away. May his soul rest in peace❤
omg….
😢 RIP from the bottom of my heart
He died on March 11
This man is the most Determined person to ever live and should be in a history book, to help inspire other people like you and me to never give up, no matter the cost.
If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
Romans 10:9 NIV
So can I ask a question does this man need to take a bath in what specific technique???
Facts
Frisk.
you wrong..rick astley is the person who always inspire people to never give up..
I can’t even imagine laying down inside that thing for literal years and not being able to go anywhere. Prayers for Paul! Truly a strong individual.
Don't feel sorry for him. He didn't make himself a victim of his situation; instead he excelled in his life.
There are pictures of him outside the iron lung so maybe he doesn't have to stay in it the entire time .
This man wasn't able to use his body, but was able to go to college, become a lawyer, and write a book using only his mouth. Paul is truly extraordinary. God bless him. I hope he lives a long and happy life filled with joy and love.

pls tell me who liked if it was youtube imma scream
He was (and still is) such a sweet man ❤
this guy is literally a legend. Cant even think about being like this for 1 week, yet he kept it up for almost 70 years
Not a legend, but an inspiration.
@@TheRecluseJanitor TRUE its so inspiring it shows so many people have such unfortunate things happen to them but still push on
Yes!
I recorded mi amor (violin and vocal cover) today can you watch it and reply to me now? 🙂
Hi!
I hate seeing people suffer like this. Look how genuinely good of a person he is, but underneath all that is decades of pain, unfathomable amounts of suffering. If you ever happen to read this comment, I hope God gives you all the mansions, all the endless happiness you deserve once you reach him. Ill pray for you, stay strong, you certainly made me stronger.
@ً There is one
sOOO sad 😭😭😭😭 ❤️❤️
yeah
I dont need mansions and money to be happy...😁
@ً Should have made your comment more meaningful if you were going to make one at all then since you were going to be ghe first, just saying lol.
“With a pen on a stick, Paul wrote his biography entirely with his mouth”
Literally the biggest flex
Definition of “Weird flex, *but okay* “
Not funny dogs
he’s just built different
@@30kdove lmao
Lmao i wanna suicide myself After writing three lines with my hand, and this dude did an entire biography with his freakin Mouth
What a man and his mental strength is so inspiring. Makes you realise how fortunate most of us are.
watching this man has made me realize that i’m not doing nearly enough with my life. he’s incredible !!
Watching him made me feel like such a pos
I feel the same way..we put restrictions on our potential
Totally. Makes me feel like a lazy loser.
You are doing just fine , even doing nothing is important cause it's your life not theirs
Exactly
This guy achieved so much in an iron lung. Imagine what he would've done if he wasn't crippled.
Like Stephen Hawkings?
Not much probably, his resilience comes from his condition
@@victorteran9766 you are right. It's funny when people assume that someone would have the same drive in totally different environment.
He prob would have been out partying and nailing chicks instead of achieving stuff if he wasn’t crippled
@@victorteran9766 exactly the circumstances get to his success
This man is the strongest guy I’ve ever seen. If I was in that situation I would’ve given up straight away but this truly inspiring person has written a book, become a lawyer and has lived a good life all while fighting polio.
Lived a good life 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Nope

As I watched videos on TikTok, there's this one video that says that Paul Alexander just passed away, and as soon as I knew it, I went to this video that I used to watch every time I was breaking down or life just seemed so hard to me. I can't believe after 2 years I am going to watch this and comment on this video again.😞Mr. Paul Alexander is such an inspiration to many. Thank you for inspiring me and helping me cope with my problems with your amazing story. RIP Sir🕊️🕊️

What a bloody legend
Always remember even if you think your life is the worst always remember someone has it worst than you
I gasped when he said he became a lawyer, the will he has to do the things whilst he lives in a condition like this is so inspiring
I was about to comment saying “that’s no way to live a life” then they say he’s a lawyer “well shit, he’s doing better than me” the will of some people is just amazing.
A man who literally can’t use his body became a lawyer, Wtf have I’ve been doing
@@Q_Dust right… feeling like he has achieved more than I would ever
How did he become a lawyer whilst I couldn't even complete middle school cuz it's expensive
This man will go down as one of the biggest successors in history.
I'm not kidding.
True

There are no words to discribe how great this man is/was. Biggest Respect to this fighting angel!
This guy is a man of focus, commitment and sheer fucking will.
It’s really amazing what he was going through but still endured..
But he does not kill like John fucking Wick ;)
yep
mamba mentality
Best story I see this year or for a long time. I would love to visit him if i have the means and spend all day chatting with him!
I promise myself to not have anymore excuses after this. What a legend this guy is.
.
You will forget that promise in 2 years
ur allowed to have ur own excuses. don’t be a “well other people have it worse” person
“just bc someone’s in a full body casket doesn’t mean ur broken arm doesn’t hurt”

I can’t imagine wanting to live if I were in those conditions. His tenacity is inspiring
That's the thing. He is an ecception. It is natural to desire to end it in those conditions
He doesn't really know any other life but still it must be horrific.
Fr like I would want them to turn it off if would be in his position because I can't think about an life without walking past the streets, meeting friends at a Cafe, having parties, going to school, hugging and being with my parents and basically just spending time with the people that I love and care about. But I am so stunned and happy for him that he is still alive and not giving up.

Indeed it’s hard to imagine the bravery he needed to go through that.

nah. funky town guy should be in the list. dude was skinned by mexican cartels and still screaming alive.
@@lauren-f3i who cares about likes like bruh this guy has polio and all ya give a crap about is ur likes

Nice profile pic
@@evan2hxrd347 Thank you!
@AriBari 2.0 I hope he defeats Polio and haves an amazing life, he deserves a way better life.
@AriBari 2.0 you just copied what I said-
@AriBari 2.0 Kind of :)
The fact that he got it when he was 6, is depressing.
And he kept fighting for 49 (or 48) years (2021).
69 years (since 1952) which is truly incredible!
@@kathleenmansure7416 ok I know this is like sad but- 69 haha.

@@huynhlien6847 lmaoo
I kinda felt dissapointing, honestly i wished he made a nice life if reincarnated. Or in heaven.
His body may be disabled, but his mind and spirit are unbreakable. Nothing can hold him back because he won’t let it. That’s what true success looks like. It’s not something that can be bought with money.
Im thinking suicidee right
Now i have cronic pain disseases...
Live in cronic pain all day 24 HOURS imagine beingl young diag with terrible dissease??
Im dont have any help lost all dont have 10$$ dollars NOTHING

@@guiilost9827 there's multiple spelling errors in that sentence,how old are you?

@Turd Ferguson well he did enjoy his life even in the lung so I guess it just comes down to if your gonna let it bring you down
His soul is literally stuck in a body that can't do most shit
One of the greatest achievements and one of the greatest humans to have ever lived, without any doubt, truly humbled and inspired by this beautiful man
Painful to watch, I can't imagine being in his position. God bless him

This is the definition of always moving forward no matter what happens.
When he said people didn't liked him very much & felt uncomfortable around him, I cried.Who would not like such a strong fighter? He taught us so much when he said he won't let polio defeat him,instead he'll defeat polio.I salute you Paul, you are an angel in disguise.
Fr
Exactly
This man is so freaking underrated, he literally wrote a whole book with his mouth using, a pencil, rubber band, and a stick. It makes me wonder wth am I doing wrong
You're not doing something wrong, you're just not doing something 🙂
@@II-woOOoOOO touché
It's probably the fact that having the luxury of feeling "immortal" (young, good health) and being able to move freely dissipates our focus compared to this man.
@@camilohiche4475 That too. And other factors.
Probably because you have obligations, school, job, family, etc.
This guy has nothing but free time.
Not that I'd trade places with him.
Rest in peace Dear Paul... may God bless you in heaven.. We should to appreciate more more more our lifes and stop crying for everything..
Everyday I wake up. I have to remind myself that I am healthy and that I have 0 excuses for not doing anything. This man is a fighter.
True. But all people are different. And everyone goes through different struggles. Good to admire others. But always live your own life to your own standards and expectations.
If he passes away, i swear imma cry
He's a legend that the whole world will admire.
At least he won't be stuck in a machine, not being able to move or do anything. I'd say death would put him at peace. I don't want him to die, but you can understand my point.
@@cryptidian3530 I see him in peace. He has been doing a lot of thinks, studying,painting, he's a living book so he wrote his story, not many people can do it. When he feels he wanna rest,ok then,but if he want to live and have fun with his hobbies let him enjoy life.
“what’s your excuse” , this guy is the definition of that .
@ً he probably does more than you whilst being disabled from the neck down .
@ً ah yes , the arbitrary insult because of my account name 🥴 , take your low self esteem somewhere else why don’t you ? nobody cares bro
??? Who you talking to?
aw he deleted his comments , what a clown lmao
@@_GamerG it’s a saying
Your memories will never be forgotten 🤍
Rest in peace 💐
I feel bad for him.. He sounds like a wonderful man... He didn't deserve to loose his arms, legs. Lets all send love to Paul for being a wonderful, joyful human being! 🥺🍪🌹🧸🐻
This man is literally the definition of never give up, what a strong man.
@Ryan Crawmer You missed his point then brother. I understand what you mean. If my physical body was mostly taken from me I’d feel like that too. And I’m sure he did for awhile.
But we are a brain in an organic robot body. We are a soul. We are much more than just a body. That’s his point.
Amen
Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down...
This guy is one of the reasons why we should all be greatfull for what we have.
agree
Ya
100% agree!!
Agreed but this doesnt mean you arent allowed to be upset. These days adults often make the mistake by saying their child has no reason to be upset because they provide them with a roof and food which makes them feel that their problems shouldnt matter. It invalidates their feelings and that's not good. It's good to remember that people do have it really bad and worse than you because it's what keeps you human. Empathy for others and yourself. You matter, and so do others. So treat others how you'd want to be treated, help them when they need you and let them help you. Thank you and have a good day:)
