人要活得有价值,有意义!虽然生活不能事事如意,但是我们只要坚持自己的信念,坚持自己的理想,就一定会生活的丰富多彩!!!谢谢力克,谢谢他带给我们生的勇气!!!

尼克·武伊契奇(英语:Nick Vujicic,1982年12月4日生于澳大利亚墨尔本),塞尔维亚裔澳大利亚籍基督教布道家,"没有四肢的生命"(Life Without Limbs)组织创办人。他天生没有四肢,但勇于面对身体残障,创造了生命的奇迹。

请设想从一出生就没有手臂,没有手臂去拥抱别人,没有双手去体验触摸,也不可以去牵手。从一出生就没有双腿又会是怎样的呢?不可以跳舞、走路、跑,甚至仅仅是靠双脚站立都不可以。现在把这些假设的场面放在一起--没有双臂没有双腿。你会怎么做呢?这将对你每天的生活带来怎样的影响?

励志语录:

感恩,要感恩实在不容易,在我八岁的时候我便为自己的生命下了定论:我永远不会结婚,永远不会找到工作,永远不会找到人生目标。牵着妻子的手都不能,我又怎能做个好丈夫?

有时我们总会想"为何我什么都做不来?"
  当你知记挂着你想拥有的或你所欠缺的,你便会忘记你所拥有的!
  如果人总是希望自己这样,自己那样,那是没有意义
  我认为生存只有几个原则,而首要是学会感恩!
  懂得感恩是很难。

认为自己不够好,这是最大的谎言。

认为自己没价值,这是最大的欺骗。

忍耐是美德,要忍耐是不容易的,我虽然无法牵着妻子的手,但时候到了,我会握着她的心,我不需要用手才能拥抱她的心。

凡事做感恩,做远大梦想和永不放弃。乐观积极才有魅力!!

[edit] Early life

The first-born child in his devout Serbian Orthodox family, Vujicic was born in Melbourne, Australia with the rare Tetra-amelia disorder: limbless, missing both arms at shoulder level, and legless but with two small feet, one of which has two toes. Initially, his parents were devastated. Vujicic was otherwise healthy.
[edit] Growing up

His life was filled with difficulties and hardships. One was being prohibited by Victoria state law from attending a mainstream school because of his physical disability, even though he was not mentally impaired. During his schooling, the laws were changed, and Vujicic was one of the first disabled students to be integrated into a mainstream school.[2] He learned to write using the two toes on his left "foot", and a special device that slid onto his big toe which he uses to grip. He also learned to use a computer and type using the "heel and toe" method (as demonstrated in his speeches), throw tennis balls, play drum pedals, comb his hair, brush his teeth, answer the phone, shave and get himself a glass of water (also demonstrated in speeches).
[edit] Epiphany

Being bullied at his school, Vujicic grew extremely depressed, and by the age of 8, 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 for being alive. [3] 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.[4] When he was seventeen, he started to give talks at his prayer group,[5] and eventually started his non-profit organization, Life Without Limbs.
[edit] Career

Nick graduated from college at the age of 21 with a double major in Accounting and Financial Planning. He began his travels as a motivational speaker, focusing on the topics that today's teenagers face. He also speaks in the corporate sector, although his aim is to become an international inspirational speaker, in both Christian and non-Christian venues. He regularly travels internationally to speak to Christian congregations, schools, and corporate meetings. He has spoken to over two million people so far, in twelve countries on four continents (Africa, Asia, Australia, and North America).[6]

By the age of 25, Nick hoped to become financially independent. He wishes to promote his words through television shows such as the The Oprah Winfrey Show, as well as by writing books. His first book, planned for completion by the end of 2009, is to be called No Arms, No Legs, No Worries!.[1]

His motivational DVD, Life's Greater Purpose, is available on the Life Without Limbs website.[7] Most of the DVD was filmed in 2005, featuring a brief documentary about his home life, and how he does regular things without limbs. The second part of the DVD was filmed at his local church in Brisbane, and was one of his first professional motivational speeches. His motivational speeches can be seen on the Premiere Speakers Bureau Website. Vujicic currently lives in California.

His secular DVD No Arms, No Legs, No Worries is available online through his corporate motivational speaking company Attitude Is Altitude.

Vujicic's first worldwide television interview, featured on 20/20 (ABC) with Bob Cummings was aired on 28 March 2008.

He appeared in the short film "The Butterfly Circus" which won the Doorpost Film Project's top prize of 2009.[8]
