God Has Plans For Everyone
This news kept me thinking for days that……
Have a look.
Derek Amato, a 40 year old man from Denver, Colarado…
Suffered concussion after diving in a swimming pool and woke up as a musical genius despite never having a lesson in his life.
You must have seen him on other social media. His story is G(old).
In October 2006, he was partying with friends when he jumped into the pool and hit his head. 'I remember the panic set in that I knew I hurt myself,' he said. 'I knew it was something bad.' After collapsing, Amato was rushed to hospital and diagnosed with a serious concussion. Doctors also found he had a permanent 35 per cent loss of hearing, as well as memory loss.
He remained unconcious but later when he woke up he could play 8 instruments.
He is one of a handful of people around the world who have suffered a brain injury or head trauma and later woke up with amazing musical, artistic or mathematical abilities. Only 30 people have suffered from this Acquired Savant Syndrome.
After years of failed jobs and homelessness, the 40-year-old is now enjoying a career in music and can play eight instruments - despite never having a lesson in his life.
Amato, who can not read music, explained that he knew what to play as he could see black and white squares in his head that triggered his fingers to move.
In 2002, he became homeless after losing everything on a business investment, he wrote on his blog. 'I was sleeping in my car at rest stops for 3 months while looking for a job,' he wrote.He got back on his feet after finding a job with the U.S. postal service before the accident.
He added on his blog: 'Upon being diagnosed with acquired musical savant syndrome and Synesteshia, this condition and miraculous discovery would now make me one in seven billion, and the only medically documented case of this particular nature on the planet!'
He is now enjoying his career in music. He launched his second album in 2012 and since then nothing could stop him.
……really, god has plans for everyone.
