Christy said "No it is not that much beautiful as you are saying" and I am not a painter. That's when Christy's brother saw the note which Christy had written before attempting suicide. 'All is nothing' was written on that note "Therefore nothing must end," Christy's brother asked what is this? Christy said nothing. Christy asked his brother will you help me. His brother replied "In which" Christy said that he wants to write his autobiography. His brother said "yes, I will definitely help you with this" and after that Christy writes a book on his whole life. Whose name was "My left foot".
Now, one day Christy and all his siblings were eating food, and when they finished food Christy told his mother that he wants to eat some sweets and all his siblings insist that however, Christy's mom doesn't have much money. Even after she said that let me check how much money is left maybe we can order Icecream and when she opens the box in which she had collected money since the childhood of Christy for his wheelchair whose hand had burnt out during taking it out from the fire. She saw there was a lot of money in the box she was surprised after looking at this, the first time she has seen so much money it was a total of 800 Pounds Christy's brother said that this is Christy's money.
Actually, the book that Christy had written whose name was "My left foot" that book was liked by the world and that's why he got so much money and as well as the complete world knows about Christy. The complete life of Christy has changed from here and now he has a typewriter on which he can type with his foot thumb.

From which many people are motivated and when everyone was appreciating Christy. So Christy calls his mother there however, his mom not wanna come but he forcefully calls his mother because his mother has played a very big and important role in his life. If her mother hadn't believed in him. If she had not encouraged him so never could Christy Brown become ".
The Christie Brown" Later on in his life, he marries his nurse whose name is Marrie, and after that Christy was very satisfied with his life.

Even today, the world remembers him Because he never gave up even after working only part of his body and by doing things that even the greatest people cannot do So this was the real and struggled life of Christy Brown's life My Left Foot.
Conclusion:
If Christy's life didn't have such a family that always appreciate him so Christy Brown can never be so successful in his life. You must have remembered the moment when Christy Brown had written MOTHER from his foot and when his father takes him on his shoulder to the bar and he had said that he is genius. If his father had not appreciated him at that time, he would never have tried in life and as well as his mom who played the most important role in his life. She never gave up on Christy, she always believed in Christy. She always appreciated him and promoted everything.
Even when Christy had given up on his life his mother told him that maybe you have given up but not me and after that, she had made a separate room and studio for his son So that he can do painting there. So the biggest achievement of Christy's life was that he had taken birth in such a family where everyone supported him. Because family is made up of supporting each other not from 4 walls. And we should also take inspiration from this story that did we have appreciated anyone in our life did we have played any role in someone's life from which someone gets encouragement because talking negatively is very easy. But saying one positive thing, bringing light to someone's life. It is very difficult so this was the message of this complete story Christy had written more books and poems after 'My left foot and all were appreciated by the world.
