Nick Vujicic was born 4-December-1982 with no arms and no legs. He resides in California with his wife, KanaeI. His story must have positive impact on our life, as he is able to do things that we can't, as we are busy complaining and not accepting the life as it is.

Nick was born and raised in Melbourne, Australia. It was a shock to his parents when he was born without limbs. His parents did their best to keep him in the mainstream school and give him every opportunity to live to the fullest. At the age of eight, Nick could not see a bright future ahead and got through the depression. When he was ten years old, he decided to end his life by drowning himself in a bathtub. After a couple attempts, he realized that he did not want his loved ones to feel the burden and guilt, that would result from his suicide.
At the age of thirteen he hurt his foot, which he used for many things like typing, writing, and swimming. That injury made him realize that he need to be more thankful for his abilities and less focused on his disabilities.
"Whoever you are, wherever you're from, and whatever you are dealing with, I hope that you will be inspired by my story and my message. Dream big my friend and never give up. We all make mistakes, but none of us are mistakes. Take one day at a time. Embrace the positive attitudes, perspectives, principles, and truths I share, and you too will overcome." – Nick Vujicic
When he was fifteen years old, he sealed his faith on God and from there it has been an amazing journey. When he was seventeen, a janitor at his high school inspired him to start speaking about his faith and overcoming adversity. He worked with a speaking coach who helped to cultivate him as a presenter. He especially worked on his body language as his hands flew everywhere at first!
Vujicic has written that he keeps a pair of shoes in his closet due to his belief in miracles. In 1990 he won the Australian young citizen award for his bravery and perseverance. In 2005 he was nominated for the Young Australian of the Year Award.
Career
Vujicic promotes his work through television shows and through his writing. His first book, Life Without Limits: Inspiration for a Ridiculously Good Life, was published by Random House in 2010. He markets a motivational DVD, Life's Greater Purpose, a short documentary filmed in 2005. The second part of the DVD was filmed at his local church in Brisbane – one of his first professional motivational speeches. He markets a DVD for young people titled No Arms, No Legs, No Worries!
