Hardaway had managed to impart some important life lessons on her son, however. She said to her son that he must carry on with life and be strong, not feel shame, and let go of the past. Such advice really carried Wonder through much of his life’s harder moments and to become self-confident. It did not matter how challenging life would become for the artist with this knowledge in mind. He was prepared for anything!

Wonder also commented on how other children used to bully him due to his blindness. But in true Wonder fashion, the artist only used this adversity to try his best. He said, “But I just became more curious. ‘How can I climb this tree and get an apple for this girl?’ That’s what mattered to me.” This blind youth would never allow his blindness to take away from his quality of life, or to stop him from living it to the fullest.
