To many in the Gulf （海湾），Ghanim Al Muftah is a well﹣known face. Ghanim was born in May 2002 in Qatar，without the lower half of his body because of a serious illness. Even though the young boy was only given 15 years to live by his doctors，his parents didn't give up on him.
Ghanim was often very sad when he was at school. No one liked to play with him. His mother comforted him that his classmates were just afraid of hurting him，not scared of him. She also encouraged the boy to communicate more with his classmates and let them know more about his illness. His mother's words cheered him up and made him become more optimistic（乐观的）.
Now，21﹣year﹣old Ghanim is an example to the world and especially to those fighting with physical disabilities. He used his weakness to develop a strong will（意志） . A surprising fact about Ghanim is that he loves sports and actively takes part in football，skateboarding，ice hockey and even scuba （潜水） .
Ghanim is also one of the youngest businessmen in Qatar. His ice cream business provides jobs for the people in the city. At the same time，with his family's support，Ghanim has also set up an organization to give away free wheelchairs to those disabled people in need.
The young boy lives up to the meaning of his name. "Ghanim Al Muftah" means "the winner" in Arabic. He is an example of strength and courage who teaches the world that no difficulty is big enough to prevent someone from living the life of their expectations.
