Thank you, Lisa Belikova

I’d like to tell you an incredible story about the debonair person – Nick Vujicic. Maybe, Nick Vujicic has the strongest will in the world. He’s the man without any legs or arms, but he thinks, that his life is really beautiful. He believes in God and he’s a Christian preacher. Nick is also a millionaire! It’s unbelievable that a person like Nick has achieved all that.

His full name is Nick James Vujicic, and he was born on 4th of December in 1982. He was born in Melbourne, Australia. Nick was born without arms and legs; he had no legs, but two small feet, one of which had two toes. With the help of his left foot he learned how to walk and nobody could believe it. Nick learned how to jump into the water and swim, ride a skateboard lying on his stomach and pushing the left foot off the ground, how to write with a pen and use a computer.

His childhood was difficult. He felt lonely and at the age of 10 he decided to commit suicide. He was stopped by the thought that parents loved him and he loved them. Since then, his motto has been “Never give up!“

In 1999 he opened a non-profit organization Life without Limbs - he became a preacher of God's word. In 2005, Nick Vujicic was nominated for the Young Australian of the Year. In 2009, he acted in the movie The Butterfly Circus, about Will - a man without limbs and his fate. In 2011 Nick Vujicic shot an amazing clip Something More. You must watch it!

For a disabled person Nick Vujicic has done a lot!!! He has been performing in front of his church group and she has visited more than 45 countries, speaking in schools, universities and other organizations. He often participates in the television shows and writes books. His first book, Life without Limits: Inspiration for a Ridiculously Good Life came out in 2010, and in 2012, was translated into Russian. At that time Nick became a millionaire.

He currently resides in California, USA. Nick has even his personal life. In 2012, on 12th of the February Nick married Cannae Miyahara, and on 14th of February, in 2013 their son was born - James Kiyoshi Vujicic. In his free time he enjoys fishing and surfing and plays golf.

If this man has achieved such heights without limbs, then what we can do! He is very cheerful and purposeful. Despite his illness, he enjoys life and Nick is sure he’s a happy man. Nick is a good role model for the modern youth because…
