No hands? No limbs? Must have committed suicide. If not, must be preparing for it. Who can live without hands or legs? No one!!! He also tried to commit suicide at the age of 10 by drowning himself. He had lost all the hope of living. But God had some different plans for him. God wanted him to be an example for others who had lost hope and feel defeated. Nick Vujicic lived!
After school, Nick went on with further study and obtained a double Bachelor’s degree, majoring in Accounting and Financial Planning from Griffith University in Logan, Australia. By the age of 19, Nick started to fulfill his dream of being able to encourage other people and bring them the gospel of Jesus through motivational speaking and sharing his testimony about how God changed his life and gave him a future and a hope. “I found the purpose of my existence, and also the purpose of my circumstance. There’s a purpose for why you’re in the fire.” Nick wholeheartedly believes that there is a purpose in each of the struggles we each encounter in our lives, and that our attitude towards those struggles, along with our faith and trust in the Lord can be the keys to overcoming the challenges we face. (Life without Limbs)
He began to master the daily tasks of life. He learned to write using the two toes on his left foot with a special grip that slid onto his big toe. He learned to use a computer and type using the "heel and toe" method. He learned to throw tennis balls, play drum pedals, get himself a glass of water, comb his hair, brush his teeth, answer the phone, use a skateboard and shave, etc. In 2005 Vujicic was nominated for the "Young Australian of the Year" Award. He started his own non-profit organization Life Without Limbs – at age seventeen and presents motivational speeches worldwide, on life with a disability, hope, and finding meaning in life.

Nick loves living life, rather than ending it like some who feel lost and defeated. No one succeeds at the first attempt. We all fail. The important point is whether we try again or not. Never fear failure because it's bound to occur. Never fear or feel shame to try again. Learn from that failure and strengthen yourself. Don't make life bitter by complaining. Make life better by living it!
