Jay Forry, the nation's only movie critic who is blind, writes syndicated reviews for various radio stations and newspapers.
Who/what contributed to your inner strength?
My family and church contribute to my inner strength.
When in your life was your inner strength particularly tested and how did you deal with the incident?
My inner strength was tested when I lost my sight at age 28. I dealt with it by keeping a good
attitude, laughing a lot and saying to myself "if this is the worst thing that happens to me,
I can deal with it."
What suggestions do you have to help people realize their capabilities?
The best way of knowing of what your capable of is to take a chance, try something new and
never give up.
Why is it important to focus on inner strength?
Always focus on your inner strength because you are the one you can count on when it's needed.
What are your next goals and what positive thoughts or activities keep you striving toward your goals?
My future goals are to continue as the nation's only blind movie critic and expand my reviews
to hundreds of newspapers.
