Nicholas James Vujicic, known as Nick Vujicic, is a motivational speaker and evangelical Christian preacher. He is the director of Life Without Limits, an organization for people with physical disabilities.

He was born on December 4, 1982, in Brisbane, Australia, with tetra-amelia syndrome, which is characterized by the absence of limbs. Nick was born without arms or legs.

Nick is an example of resilience and a great fighter, despite his disability and physical limitations. In his youth, he became one of the first students with disabilities to be integrated into a mainstream school.

His classmates treated him differently because of his condition, and as a result, he suffered from depression during his childhood, to the point where he considered suicide. At the age of ten, he tried to drown himself in the bathtub, but stopped when he remembered the love his parents had for him.

Nick changed his perspective on life. He discovered that if you fall, you must get up, and if you lack strength or hope, you must try again and again until you succeed and keep going.

At 21, he graduated with a degree in Accounting and Financial Planning. Shortly after, he became a motivational speaker, giving talks to people all over the world. He has visited more than 30 countries. In 2008, he filmed his own documentary called "Born Without Limbs."

Nick has a family with Kanae Miyahara and has four children. He is the author of the international bestseller "Life Without Limits."
