Nick Vujicic

Nick Vujicic is a motivational speaker that travels around the world telling listeners his story. Nick was born with tetra-amelia syndrome. In human words, he does not have any of his four limbs. That's right, no arms and no legs. The emotional and physical struggles that he has been forced to overcome are unbelievable in my eyes. To me, the 5 leading qualities that stand out in Vujicic to make him at the top of my list of inspirational and motivational people are as follows:

1- Adaptability: Nick just recently married his wife this past August and they are expecting their first child later this year. What?! I won't venture to wonder how that is even possible, but seriously, good for him! Every person should be allowed the gift of creating their own family.

2- Work Ethic: When Nick was only 17 years old, he began his non profit organization, Life Without Limbs. Not only had he accepted his disability at such a young age, but he was using it motivate and inspire others. At age 21 he double majored in accounting and financial planning. I'll be happy getting my single Communication degree by the same age.

3- Determination: Nick has managed to master many daily tasks, such as: writing, typing, throw a tennis ball, comb his hair, brush his teeth, shave and answer the phone. Wow! I can't even imagine doing any of those with hands of arms.

4- Positivity: Nick keeps a pair of shoes inside his closet due to his belief in miracles.

5- Attitude: Nick has had a prosperous and impressive career. A career that he has created for himself because of his positive and determined attitude to not let his disability hinder him.

Nick Vujicic is a true inspiration to any person in this world. If I were given the same circumstances, I have no idea how I would cope with the disability. Wow. That's all I have to say.
