You must have seen superhuman movies where an ordinary person has the ability to fly up in the air, well these people here naturally have immense powers from birth. Read on!
We all usually wish to have the same powers as these movie persons at a certain point of time since we believe we can handle our life really well that way. However, do you know that there are people who actually are born with such super powers? In addition, there are a few others who have conceivably achieved such strengths after a long-time training or meditation.

Ben’s both eyes were removed due to a retinal cancer, but he surprised everyone when he taught himself echolocation at the age of five only. His ability to detect the location of objects around him made him accomplish the difficult tasks like running, playing football, riding bycycle, playing basketball, roller-skating and skateboarding. The fact is that a normal kid takes a long time to learn such skills but Ben really was an exception. Ben died at the age of 16; the same retinal cancer took his life. (Source)
