In 1961, a father's quiet worry about a listless teenage son was recorded in a diary — words that would one day read as one of history's most poignant miscalculations. Stephen Hawking, the boy who seemed to have lost his way at Oxford, would go on to survive a fatal diagnosis, reshape our understanding of the universe, and leave behind words urging all of us never to give up. His story is a reminder that the distance between who we appear to be and who we are becoming is often immeasurable.
