- Helen Keller stars in this 1954 documentary about her life. Her companion Polly Thomson also appears in the film. Transcript: "By eight o'clock Helen and Polly have made their beds. Polly has finished the household tasks, and their business of the day begins. Even at home they carry the responsibilities and obligations of public figures. Their desk is never clear. The mail piles up while they are away. And every morning more comes in. The bulky packages are books in braille. They must wait. The letters will be gone through after Polly finishes spelling out the morning headlines. Helen is emphatic about keeping in touch with world events. But the mail looms large. A few of the letters are personal ones from friends. But most of them are requests for something. From New Zealand..."Will you kindly send a message to the royal blind institute..., From Massachusetts..."I have written a pamphlet on teaching the deaf, please read it and let me have your comments", From India..."I am slowly going blind. In the United States is a cure. Can you help me?". From New York...I have chosen you as the subject of my term paper. Would you write me a long letter telling me all about yourself?". After the mail Helen goes to her own study to work. There are reports to be made out. Speeches and articles to be prepared. So far as possible, she does her own research. She locates her reference books by the braille lettering along the edge. In her work she will not indulge herself because she is handicapped. Everyone has his own handicaps Helen says. It just happens to be the handicap of the blind that they cannot see. Of the deaf that they cannot hear. She does her own typing.Her speeches, she does on her braille typewriter, so she can go over them herself for correction. The machine has only six keys, because all braille letters are made by the combination and placement of six raised dots. For her letters she uses a regular typewriter. She is fast and accurate. But she has Polly check her letters. Being blind she cannot permit herself the casual mistakes of the seeing. If there are mistakes Helen types the letter again. From the vibrations of a buzzer, Helen knows when it's time for lunch. The glint of crystals is the one thing Helen thinks she remembers seeing as a baby before she went blind. Flowers are among her greatest pleasures. Helen's home is not a sad place because she is not a sad woman. She's extraordinarily gay. She goes toward each new experience with the joy of a child. On week days there are only three for lunch. Helen and Polly and Anne who comes in to help them with the housework. There days are too full for social engagements. But at tea time they relax and catch up with their personal mail. Friends may come in. The talk may turn to politics or world affairs. Helen has strong views on these, and she has the courage to express them even when they are not popular. She also likes a good story and appreciates a joke as much as anyone else. So they spend their days when they're at home. Scarcely a week goes by that Helen's calendar doesn't call them away to a conference or a lecture. At the Dyker street nursery they are experimenting with placing sightless children and seeing children together. It is important to accustom the blind to the give and take of normal everyday life. At the Lexington school for the deaf she watches children at play. Today they have a new game. In blowing a piece of paper they are learning to say who, what, when, why, like ordinary children. In class, she follows the progress of the older girls, in learning talk. Watching their struggles with speech, we can perhaps more easily understand why Helen says if she had a choice between her two afflictions, she would choose blindness. The deaf, cut off from the world, both by lack of hearing and lack of speech need all the encouragement she can give."
Back then people would look up to and admire the likes of Hellen Keller. Nowadays young people look up to reality TV and social media personalities. How far we've fallen.
Thanks for your visit. It's a pleasure to see you here.
Hope things are going well for you. Best Wishes!
Helen is so cheerful, always it seems! A wonderful example for us all! I find it so very heartwarming to see her and Polly together, enjoying each other's company! So much Love and kindness!

Hi Eddy.
Thanks for your visit, my friend. Wishing you a wonderful new day ahead!
Lovely to look back at the years gone by. Hello from South Africa.
Thanks for your visit. It's a pleasure to see you here.
Hope things are going well for you. Best Wishes! :)
@@IamHelenKeller It was my pleasure. Things are great. Best wished to you to my friend.
Thank you. Such a beautiful inspiration. I love how she saw crystals as a child. What an uplifting spirit she was and still is for humanity 💫❤️❤️❤️💫
Thanks for the warm comment...it means a lot.
Best Wishes!
Nothing makes me madder than talking to young kids these days 18 to 20 who have no idea who Helen was.
I had one young man actually tell me Said he did not believe that Helen Keller actually said all the stuff that she said he thought that maybe it was all Annie Sullivan talking! That's the non trusting " fake news" internet generation for you.I told him that Helen was so important that it was practically UN-American to doubt her. She was a hero to us when I was growing up in the early 60's. I was pretty upset that he had never heard of Helen..
Thank you for posting these videos!
Hi Nancy. Thanks for your visit. Yes,... some younger people aren't familiar with Helen Keller. I suppose some schools don't teach children about her these days. Although some younger people know who she is, but they think she was a fraud. Some people even think that she faked being deaf and blind every day for 87 years. There's really nothing you can say to people that believe that. it's too silly to bother with. Anyway, hope things are going well for you. Best Wishes!
Big like 22 Nice upload beautiful share excellent beautiful presentation
Thanks very much.
Have a great day.
How Hellen Keller learn to type find books, and look so glamorous all the time, is amazing to me, she was sure a great inspiration to all of us, how she managed her daily routine, really shows how strong and motivated she was, thank you for sharing, Happy Holidays..
Hi Nancy Marie. Yes, I agree. I wish I could schedule my day as productively as Helen. Sometimes I try to keep a "Day Book" and to keep to a schedule, so I can get more done. But it usually doesn't last too long. LOL. Oh well, I suppose all I can do is to keep trying. :) Thanks for stopping by. Always nice to hear from you.
What an amazing life Helen led - thankfully, much of it caught on films.
I wish you a happy holiday season 🎄 ⭐✨

Hi Katerina. Thanks for watching. I'm glad you enjoyed the video, my friend.
It's always nice to hear from you. Have a nice Christmas season.
I am amazed to see the amount of work Helen Keller have to do every day, the mails alone looks like it needs a whole team just to accommodate those requests then she still have to go out for her other commitments and then there's her friends who comes by to her house as well. Even with her disabilities she personally does all these with only the help of Polly?
Helen Keller was a real life wonder woman.
Back in those days people's work was far more serious than today and they maintained high standards. Look how orderly her home and.
Thanks Helen for sharing, beautiful story and video edition.
Have a wonderful day.

@@blessOTMA Hope you have a nice Christmas. Sorry to hear about the computer. One of my computers started acting a bit buggy the other day. But now it seems like it may want to "straighten up and fly right" again. For now,...at least :)
@@IamHelenKeller that's a great deal! It took awhile to convince the repair guy I wanted to keep the old movie maker program! 😂
Wunderbar.... ein schönes Dokumentar, presentation Hellen 👍Happy New Year, and best wishes for 2022!🍀
Hellen said she would rather choose blindness over deafness. She doesn't understand sight in the slightest and that thought alone gives me such trouble to wrap my head around someone never experiencing the beauty of sight. Because if you can see you can also hear. For example, read peoples lips, sign language and most of all freedom of movement.
Sight is much more precious than every other sense.
Yes, I think if I had to make a choice... I would choose to be deaf.
Thanks for stopping by.
it's a pleasure to hear from you. Hope things are going well for you.
Helen, my best wishes and a hug for a peaceful new year! (Here in Italy there is still half an hour left)
P.s.=You too get letters from all over the world 😉
Thanks very much, my friend.
Wishing you a wonderful New Year.
