With this condition, she has been able to accomplish much more than ordinary commonfolk — such as setting two Swedish swimming records, for example. (So that means she swims better than most of us that do have hands.)

Now at the age of 40, she has learned how to do almost everything without hands (including using chopsticks with almost as much finesse as an oriental), and she is quite possibly many times happier than any 10 random people on the street combined. Narrations in the 30-minute video are in Mandarin Chinese with English subtitles, and Lena herself speaks fluent English.

I think there’s just a great deal we can learn from Lena. A good inspiration for the rest of us!
