"The Paralympics Game is also about transforming the perceptions of the World. We are all different. There is no such thing as a standard or run of the mill human being -- but we share the same human spirit. What is important is that we have the ability to create. This creativity can take many form -- from physical achievements to theoretical physics. However difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do, and succeed at. The game provides an opportunity for athletes to excel, to stretch themselves and become outstanding in their fields. So let us begin to celebrate excellence, friendship and respect. Good luck to you all."
