After discharge he felt a desire to play a guitar, and his music career began. Today Derek is a world-famous jazz musician and composer.

This guy dubbed the ‘acquired servant’ must be the luckiest on earth. At the age of ten, Orlando was hit by a baseball on the left side of his head, fell down, and continued playing.

Jim Carolla
When Jim Carollo survived a car accident that left his mother dead, he was only 14 years old. He landed in a coma for six weeks, and doctors wondered if he was going to come out. He suddenly woke up, and when he was put on physical therapy, he came out mentally different in how he handled math. Unlike before the accident, Jim would take advanced math tests without studying and get perfect scores. He would memorize the first 120 digits of the pi number sequence in a couple of days. So odd for his age but a true superpower!
Slavisa Pajkic
