3. Summary: This article is about Nick's life with both physical and mental
difficulties. It also tells about the process of overcoming difficulties and
outstanding achievements that he has achieved. Name: Nick Vujicic (1982) Hometown: Austria His obtacles:
- Borning with no arms and no legs.
- Being bullied and teased at school caused him to struggle with depression and feel hopeless.
- Many times want to give up life by committing suicide.
How he overcame challenges: The biggest support is the love from his parents. He
realized that he didn’t want his loved ones to suffer. A key turning point in his faith
came when his mother showed him a newspaper article about a man dealing with a
severe disability. Vujicic realized he wasn't unique in his struggles and began to
embrace his lack of limbs. After this, Nick realized his accomplishments could
inspire others and became grateful for his life. Nick gradually figured out how to
live a full life without limbs, adapting many of the daily skills limbed people
accomplish without thinking. When he was seventeen, he started to give talks at his
prayer group, and later founded his non-profit organization, Life Without Limbs.
The achievements: Nick is one of the most in-demand motivational speakers in the
world. Nick has learned not to let his limitations stop him from enjoying a happy life. 4. Useful vocabulary: - janitor / d ˈ ʒæn. .tə ɪ
