Society Story: Incredible story of a man with a rare disease who made the world listen to him

This person has no arms or legs from his birth but still, he is one of the most impressive figures of our time!

Nicholas James Vujicic has "tetra-amelia syndrome"

Nicholas James Vujicic is Australian. He was born with the rarest disease called "tetra-amelia syndrome" characterized by absence of all four limbs. However, Nick is very lucky to have one tiny leg-like limb, which he nowadays uses to swim or perform some other types of activity.

Despite of the obvious disorder, the boy grew healthy. He was even attending an ordinary school but as the children are sometimes cruel he suffered from bullying. Nick's life was not easy at all. He had his deep inferiority complex and even tried to commit suicide at the age of ten. He was stopped by the thoughts about his parents who loved him very much. He did what he could to simplify his parent's life. He helped around the house since childhood using the vacuum cleaner.

The start of the speaker's career

Nicholas never dreamed to be a speaker. He was offered to speak in the Griffith University and then he thought he would have become successful immediately and called a school offering to perform there, however he got rejected. He called many other schools again and again. Nothing. Some of them didn't believe he had no limbs. Some of them thought that he would scare children. Nick didn't give up. He got rejected 52 times before one school accepted his offer.

People often cried when he was speaking. Many people started to believe in themselves due to Nick. He confessed that since the first time he saw he'd changed someone's life, he became addicted to this feeling.

Nick's books, beautiful family and global recognition

Nicholas's speech is powerful. He expresses many simple ideas that help people live. He says that people should be thankful for little things in their lives. We should appreciate everything we have now before wanting more. He could possess himself as a victim, instead he learned how to operate the only tiny limb he has. He can swim, type, use the mobile phone and many other things.

Nicholas James Vujicic wrote several books. The first one is "Life Without Limits: Inspiration for a Ridiculously Good Life". He got married beautiful Kanae Miyahara in 2012. Now (as for 2017), Nick has two sons and his wife is pregnant with twins. All of Nick's children are totally healthy.

Today Nick Vujicic travels around the world and inspires people.

If we could all be thankful for what we do have and use it to bless others, this world would be kinder and more joyful. Being self-centered is the root of what is wrong with this world.

What you failed to say is that he is a strong Christian. He speaks often in churches.

We complain when we experience a power failure - or we stand too long in a queue - or we don't have water for a day or two - and so many other things. People to have to walk for miles just to get a bucket of cold water would love to only have no water for a few days. Here is this man who, most importantly, has received Jesus Christ as His Lord and Saviour - who has a motivation that goes beyond our complaints about our little circumstances. Praise the Lord for him and others like him who show how blessed we are.
