Imagine the Difficulty
Imagine having no arms to stretch in the morning, to help
you scratch that itch, to allow you to wrap your arms
around your loved ones.
Imagine having no legs to kick pebbles down the street,
to walk or run, to bicycle or skateboard, or get you from
point A to point B.
Then imagine both at once, which is what Nick Vujicic
has faced his whole life. Have you heard something like
this before?

Description:
Nick Vujicic was born with no arms or legs - but he
doesn’t let the details stop him. The brave 26-year-old
who is mainly torso - plays football and golf, swims, and
surfs, despite having no limbs.
Nick has a small foot on his left hip which helps him
balance and enables him to kick. He uses his one foot to
type, write with a pen and pick things up between his
toes. ‘I call it my chicken drumstick,’ joked Nick, who was
born in Melbourne, Australia, but now lives in Los
Angeles. ‘I’d be lost without it

Personal Life:
"If you can't get a miracle , become one." ? Nick Vujicic
Due to his faith as an Evangelical Christian, Nick has
chosen to remain a virgin until marriage although he has
had long-term girlfriends in the past.
'He would love to get married and start a family but he's
waiting for the right girl to come along.'

Birth and Schooling:
Water sports aren't Nick's only thing - he tucked under his
chin, and is a huge fan of the English Premier League.
His parents decided not to send him to a special school - a
decision he said was very hard for him, but which may have
been the best decision they could have made for him.
When Nick was born his father was so shocked that he left the
hospital room to vomit.
His distraught mother couldn't bring herself to hold him until
he was four months old. also plays golf with a club

Parents Support
Nick's father was a computer programmer and accountant and
he taught his little son how to type with his toe at just 6 years
old.
His mum invented a special plastic device that meant he could
hold a pen and pencil.

Depressed :
Despite the risk of bullying, his parents insisted Nick attended
mainstream school.
It was the best decision they could have made for me,' adds
Nick, who later achieved a degree in Financial Planning and
Real Estate. 'It was very hard but it gave me independence.‘
Nick, who was teased and bullied, had an electric wheelchair
for mobility, and a team of carers to help him.
'I was deeply depressed when I was eight years old,' he said. 'I
went to my mum crying and told her I wanted to kill myself.

Trying to Be independent:
'I felt cold and bitter. I hated God for doing this to me and
was terrified of what would happen when my parents
weren't there to look after me.
'I could brush my own teeth with a wall mounted brush
and wash my own hair with pump action soap, but there
was so much that was impossible for me.'

Trying to give up his Life
At age ten Nick tried to drown himself in the bath but
luckily the attempt was unsuccessful.
I felt there was no purpose when you lack purpose and
strength it is hard to hold on,' he said.
But with the help of his religion, friends and family,
Nick managed to pull through to become an
international symbol of triumph over adversity.

Words of life:
'When I was 13 I read a newspaper article about a
disabled man who had managed to achieve great things
and help others,' said Nick.
'I realized why God had made us like this - to give
hope to others. It was so inspirational to me that I
decided to use my life to encourage other people and
give them the courage that the article had given me.

Nick’s Mindset:
'I decided to be thankful for what I do have, not get angry
about what I don't.
'I looked at myself in the mirror and said: 'You know what
the world is right that I have no arms or legs, but they'll
never take away the beauty of my eyes.' I wanted to
concentrate on something good that I had.'

Awards:
"The challenges in our lives are there to strengthen our
convictions. They are not there to run us over", said
Nick. In 1990 Nick won the Australian Young Citizen
of the Year award for his bravery and perseverance.
'When kids run up to me and ask 'what happened?' I
just lean over and whisper 'cigarettes', he laughed.

Funny Incident
'And once I was in a car and a girl at traffic lights was
giving me the eye. She could only see my head so I
decided to do a 360 in the car seat to freak her out. 'Her
face was like woooooooah what is going on? She speed
off really quickly.

Achievements:
Nick began travelling the world and in 2008 he went to
Hawaii and met surfing master Bethany Hamilton, who
had her arm bitten off by a shark when he was 12.
'She was amazing, said Nick. 'She taught me how to surf
and I was terrified at first, but once I got up there it felt
absolutely fantastic and I caught some waves pretty well.'
Nick quickly learned how to do the 360 degree spins on
his board - a feat that got him on the
cover of Surfer magazine within 48 hours

Surfing is fun for him
'No one has ever done that in the history of surfing,' he
said.' But I have a very low centre of gravity so I've got
pretty good balance

Tour Throughout the World
He has visited different countries all over the world. The
football fan is now a motivational speaker and has
travelled to over 24 countries speaking to groups of up to
110,000 people.
Nick‘s visit of India

He made his movement
He moved to Los Angeles two years ago and plans to
continue to travel the world – this year he will visit South
America and the Middle East.
"If I fail, I try again, and again, and again. If you fail, are
you going to try again? The human spirit can handle much
worse than we realize. It matters how you are going to
finish. Are you going to finish strong?" said Nick
'I tell people to keep on getting up when they fall and to
always love themselves,' he said.

Winner:
'If I can encourage just one person then my job in this
life is done.'
