This comment is about, whether I believe that Arnold could become rich and famous or if his disabilities are a problem for him. I am going to state pro and con arguments and present my own opinion.

An argument which pleads for the con side is that especially physical handicapped people often have problems by getting treated equally, because our society has a specific association with those human beings. We often tend to think that we are able to achieve things in a better and easier way than disabled people which is in my opinion a wrong way of thinking. Isn’t it our task to show those people that they can do things as good as we can? But as always there are folks who do not share those views. To feel more powerful or sometimes to be funny they prefer to bully people who are weaker than they are.  So I think that not necessarily the disabilities are a problem for people like Arnold to become rich and famous,  it’s us, the society and people who are making their lives harder than it already is.

So one of the main argument which supports the pro side is also that just because you are disabled in some way it doesn’t have to influence your strength. Even if you can’t walk, you’re still able to for example play basketball, which you can see on the Paralympics. Another aspect is that there many famous people with disabilities who have become very successful and rich by doing the things they were good about. Look at Steven Hawking (ALS) or Ludwig Van Beethoven (deaf) So why shouldn’t someone like Arnold also be able to get success by drawing cartoons. The most important thing is that those people have to be more ambitious because their disabilities can make their lives harder than the ones of people without. But I think that everything is possible, if you only work hard enough and have the right attitude.

So in my opinion Arnold could become rich and famous, because he has a talent for drawing and being funny. He only needs to focus on his dream, work hard for it and not let himself get “knocked”.
