THE LIFE STORY OF NICK VUJICIC

निक ने बहुत कड़ी प्रार्थना की कि ईश्वर उसे हथियार और पैर दे, और शुरू में उसने ईश्वर से कहा कि, यदि उसकी प्रार्थना अनुत्तरित रह जाए, तो निक अनिश्चित समय तक उसकी प्रशंसा नहीं करेगा। हालाँकि, उनके विश्वास में एक महत्वपूर्ण मोड़ तब आया जब उनकी माँ ने उन्हें एक गंभीर विकलांगता से निपटने वाले व्यक्ति के बारे में एक अखबार का लेख दिखाया। वुजिसिक ने महसूस किया कि वह अपने संघर्षों में अद्वितीय नहीं थे और अपने अंगों की कमी को गले लगाने लगे। इसके बाद, निक ने महसूस किया कि उनकी उपलब्धियां दूसरों को प्रेरित कर सकती हैं और उनके जीवन के लिए आभारी बन गई।

निक ने धीरे-धीरे यह पता लगाया कि बिना अंगों के पूरा जीवन कैसे जिया जाता है, दैनिक कौशल के कई अंग बिना सोचे-समझे लोगों को पूरा कर लेते हैं। निक अपने बाएं पैर पर दो पंजे और एक विशेष पकड़ के साथ लिखते हैं जो उनके बड़े पैर की अंगुली पर फिसल जाता है। वह जानता है कि कंप्यूटर का उपयोग कैसे किया जाता है और “एड़ी और पैर की अंगुली” विधि का उपयोग करके प्रति मिनट 45 शब्द तक टाइप किया जा सकता है। उन्होंने टेनिस बॉल फेंकना, ड्रम पैडल खेलना, एक गिलास पानी पीना, बालों में कंघी करना, अपने दाँत ब्रश करना, फोन का जवाब देना और गोल्फ, तैराकी और यहां तक ​​कि स्काई डाइविंग के अलावा दाढ़ी बनाना भी सीखा है।

Nick Vujicic was born to Dushka and Boris Vujicic in 1982 in Melbourne, Australia. Although he was an otherwise healthy baby, Nick was born without arms and legs; he had no legs, but two small feet, one of which had two toes. Nick has two siblings, Michelle and Aaron. Initially, a Victoria state law prevented Nick from attending a mainstream school due to his physical disability in spite of a lack of mental impairment. However, Vujicic became one of the first physically disabled students integrated into a mainstream school once those laws changed. However, his lack of limbs made him a target for school bullies, and he fell into a severe depression. At age eight, he contemplated suicide and even tried to drown himself in his bathtub at age ten; his love for his parents prevented him from following through. He also stated in his music video “Something More” that God had a plan for his life and he could not bring himself to drown because of this.

Nick prayed very hard that God would give him arms and legs, and initially told God that, if his prayer remained unanswered, Nick would not praise him indefinitely. However, 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. Nick writes with two toes on his left foot and a special grip that slid onto his big toe. He knows how to use a computer and can type up to 45 words per minute using the “heel and toe” method. He has also learned to throw tennis balls, play drum pedals, get a glass of water, comb his hair, brush his teeth, answer the phone and shave, in addition to participating in golf, swimming, and even sky-diving.

During secondary school, he was elected captain of MacGregor State in Queensland and worked with the student council on fundraising events for local charities and disability campaigns. When he was seventeen, he started to give talks at his prayer group, and later founded his non-profit organization, Life Without Limbs.
