A man of no limits

He’s got two degrees and a successful business, he’s a writer and a lecturer, actor and singer. But the thing is that he isn’t quite ordinary-looking person. His name’s Nick Vujicic and he doesn’t have arms and legs.

Nick was born in 1982 in Melbourne, Australia. First it was a shock to his parents that he appeared without limbs. There was no medical reason for it. Then Nick’s parents did their very best to support their son and give him every opportunity to live life to the full.

When Nick was at high school, he gave his first speech. He was really nervous to speak in front of 300 students. But within the first three minutes of his talk, most of the students had tears in their eyes. And one girl came up to Nick in the middle of the speech, hugged him in front of everyone, and thanked him from the heart.

Nick realized that all people need love and hope and that he had a chance to share that with people around the world.

This guy has travelled to 44 countries since then talking to people, motivating and inspiring them. He’s given hope to millions of people.

Nick learned to do without outside help – he dresses, eats, cleans his teeth, does his hair – all by himself. More than that, he types with the speed of 43 words a minute, swims well, surfs, plays golf and football, rides on a skateboard and even jumps from a springboard into the water.

Nick also started a non-profit ministry, "Life without limbs", to spread his messages of faith and hope around the world.

Moreover, in February 2012 Nick married a beautiful girl and they already have a baby.

Nick says “Dream big and never give up.” And looking at this unique person climbing the steps confidently, you really forget about spots on your face, arguments with friends, breaking up with girlfriend or boyfriend or the lack of cash on the latest iPhone.
