The Amazing Life of a Man With No Legs or Arms
Featured on CBS this A.M. the amazing life of Nick Vujicic shows the world that nothing is really impossible. Our creator put this man on earth for a reason, I believe. This baby was born in the 1980's and was an echo of the Thalidomide Births from that birth control pill.
Nick Vujicic is Norman Vincent Peale's poster child for his famous words that came alive in his book, " The Power of Positive Thinking." Believe in Yourself - Norman Vincent Peale - YouTube

The next time one of your friends complains about his or lot in life, be kind and remind them that life is to be lived to the fullest, and Nick Vujicic is flat out the best example I have heard about. Google and many other people have written about Nick's life story.
So ... when is he gonna be on dancing with the stars ?
Seriously , that was an inspiring story . It really is true that the body is not that much of a limitation . Look at Dr. Steven Hawking . But this Nick V. has full use of his nervous system , his incredible personality and his voice unlike Hawking who only has his incredible intellect ...
I saw this clip this morning and made my daughters watch the clip. He is an inspiration to all who think that life is hard. He shows how you can overcome most things with the right attitude.
I must make a small correction about something Charlie. Thalidomide was given to stop morning sickness during pregnancy, not as birth control. It is now being used for cancer treatment and autoimmune diseases.
And there is still no really good treatment for severe morning sickness, as poor Duchess Kate has found. Poor thing!
This man is a true inspiration-- and somehow he manages to be cheerful and happy. How wonderful!
and somehow he manages to be cheerful and happy
That is because he looks from the proper perspective.
N Cognito,
Everyone of us has a unique skill, and if one has a handicap it seems that these weaknesses lead to the development of a unique something. Even in the case of a blind person, that ends up hearing so keenly, that it makes up for some of the debilitating effects of blindness.
I think the special Olympics, probably has many remarkable participants which everyone has come to expect.
Thanks, Perrie.
I was in Europe when the Thalidomide outbreaks were first starting. I was a military pharmacist at the time and since we didn't stock it I never looked it up in the PDR, Physicians Desk Reference, my bible for keeping the Docs straight, in those days.
Hi Dowser,
I watched this Sunday morning, like Perrie, and what Nick Fujicic can do is nothing short of miraculous.
O' Yes Broliver,
When the blind man said, "Aaaah I see," and of course he couldn't, leads us to a truism about ourselves:
What we easily perceive in others, we dimly perceive in ourselves.
Well I have to say, that when I first saw him it did bring the same thought to mind, Charlie. But I noticed he was younger then me, and knew that it couldn't be.
I had a schoolmate who's mom did take the drug and she was born with only 2 fingers on each hand and somehow she played the violin. The human spirit can be an amazing thing!
