Nick Vujicic was born in Melbourne, Australia with the rare Tetra-amelia disorder: limbless, missing both arms at shoulder level, and having one small foot with two toes protruding from his left thigh. Despite the absence of limbs, he is can surf, swim, play golf and soccer. Nick Vujicic graduated from college at the age of 21 with a double major in Accounting and Financial Planning.
Nick Vujicic was born on December 4, 1982; he is a preacher, a motivational speaker and the director of Life Without Limbs, an organization for the physically disabled. He regularly gives speeches across the world on the subject of disability and hope.
His life was filled with difficulties and hardships. One was not being able to attend a mainstream school because of his physical disability, as the law of Australia required, even though he was not mentally impaired. During his schooling, the laws were changed, and Nick was one of the first disabled students to be migrated to a mainstream school. He learned to write using the two toes on his left “foot,” and a special device that slid onto his big toe to grip. He also learned to use a computer and type using the “heel and toe” method (as demonstrated in his speeches). He can also throw tennis balls and answer the phone. He can also shave and get a glass of water (also demonstrated in speeches).
Being bullied at his school, Nick Vujicic grew extremely depressed, and by the age of eight, started contemplating suicide. After begging God to grow arms and legs, Nick eventually began to realize that his accomplishments were inspirational to many, and began to thank God he was alive. A key turning point in his life was when his mother showed him a newspaper article about a man dealing with a severe disability. This led him to realize he wasn’t the only one with major struggles. When he was seventeen, he started to give talks at his prayer group, and eventually started his non-profit organization, Life Without Limbs.

Hi, thanks. glad you’ve been inspired
I was actually online looking for something else, but when I came across this I couldn’t seem to look away. Watching and reading these has made me feel like I can get up right now and succeed in anything!
Thanks so much for posting this!
Hi Kayla, I’m really glad that i helped you in a little way. Nick is an awesome and very inspiring man. Most of us haven’t realized that we have all the potential to do the things we want. It’s such an irony that a man with no arms, no limbs, teaches people how to get up.
Be positive in life, think positively and trust in the Lord.
cheers!

Nick um pessoa sem limites
uma das frases que eu mais gosto dele:”temporarily rather not have legs and arms here on earth but want to have the wings of the holy spirit”. Quando olho pra ele vejo Jesus nele e le é lindo assim como Jesus,meu sonho é ir para Australia só pra te conhecer.
