Nick Vujicic
Nick Vujicic “Imagine being born without arms. No arms to wrap around a friend; no hands to hold the ones you love; no fingers to experience touch; no way to lift or carry things. How much more difficult would life be of you were living without arms and hands? What about legs? Imagine if instead of no arms, you had no legs. No ability to dance, walks, run, or even stand. Now put both of those scenarios together no arms and no legs. What would you do? How would that affect your everyday life?” -Nick Vujicic Are you familiar with this name? Do you know it? Well, I think some of us saw him on the internet or heard his name but doesn’t know him well. So, to tell you the truth he can inspire us by his story. Want to know why? The story goes like this, his name was Nicholas James “Nick” Vuljicic born on December 4, 1982. He is a Serbian Arabian Evangelist and motivational speaker. He is born with a rare disorder called tetra-Amelia syndrome it was characterized by the absence of our four limbs. He was born without arms and legs; he had no legs, but two small feet, one of which had two toes. Nick has a wife she was Kanae Miyahara and then they had their child he was Kiyoshi James Vujicic. He also had two books namely Life Without Limbs: Inspiration for a Ridiculously Good Life and Limitless. As I said he can inspire us by his positive outlook of his life because imagine no legs and no arms he still managed to survive but Nick did not pretend his life is easy. Because he experienced different kinds of struggles in life at the age of eight, he could not see a better future for himself because of its disorder so he decided to drown himself in their bathtub. But after what he did he realize that suicidal is not the solution for his problem he realizes that he doesn’t want to leave his loved ones. But when he was 15 years old he sealed his faith to God and from there it has been amazing journey for him. And then a janitor in their school inspired him to start speaking

    Richie was born in May of 1983 in Beaufort, South Carolina. While he was a bouncing healthy baby boy, his parents had an unexpected finding. Richie was born with Bilateral Amelia, a non-genetic birth defect in which limbs are not formed. And unfortunately for Richie both of his arms were the limbs unaccounted for. My choice of words should be revised because this man is anything but unfortunate. He grew up listening to the crude remarks of surrounding adults and indecisive physicians telling him what he wouldn’t be able to do in life as a result of his handicap. But Richie was stubborn and would not listen. As an adult now Richie has inventively mastered such tasks as riding a bike, taking food out of the fridge and microwaving it on his own and driving a car using his feet to start the ignition and his knees to steer. In his career Richie has found a way, using the keyboard and mouse on the floor, then operating both…
